The late poems of this century's great Greek poet Yannis Ritsos, while deeply melancholic and hauntingly somber, are also charged with an oddly celebratory note. They document a world that, if it is diminished in meaning, nevertheless remains vital and, at times, unaccountably beautiful. At the end of his life Ritsos experienced a surge of creativity that is fascinating to follow in its chronology and exactitude. The balance of sadness and wisdom, reconciliation and regret, makes this collection unforgettable.
