He's probably my favorite poet, a true essential. I also only read him in Spanish but it's true that Itaca sounds different and actually great in English. I should try your personal Canon Poetry Bible. I'm just curious, which country are you at and where are you moving? (If you want to share).
Some day I will do a long live where I read the entire of my poetry bible! I am in England and I am Flying to Spain for a month and then I’ll spend six months working in Croatia :)
cavafy 🖤
I was lucky. I encountered “Ithaka” first in freshman year high school. I didn’t read his other poems until later.
Come to think of it, I did a reading of this poem for my channel with a little bit of nostalgia attached. 😂
@@davidnovakreadspoetry This is certainly the right poem to feel nostalgic haha
