Recuerda, cuerpo

Despite being considered one of the most important poets of the twentieth century, Cavafis never published in his lifetime and only distributed his verses among a small circle of friends. This selection is representative of a vocation to which he devoted himself from a very young age with rigor and exigency, a brief and meticulous work that aroused the admiration of great poets of the stature of T.S. Eliot or Jaime Gil de Biedma. Homosexual love -sometimes only implicit but loaded with sensuality and eroticism- marks his verses, as well as the evocation of classical antiquity.
