Erotic Poet Cavafy's Trace Fades in Egypt's Mythic Alexandria

Oct. 13 (Bloomberg) -- Ask a concierge or taxi driver in the Egyptian city of Alexandria for the way to the house-museum of Constantine P. Cavafy , the town’s 20th-century pioneer poet, and it’s likely you’ll draw blank stares.

“Alexandria is not much interested in Cavafy anymore,” says Mohammed Said, caretaker of the museum. “We’re not even interested in the Alexandria that he lived in.”

Perhaps it’s the inevitable fate of a poet who viewed Alexandria as less of a real place than a stimulating figment of the mind. Cavafy (1863-1933) wrote much of his poetry in the first third of the 20th century and all but invented the myth of Alexandria as a sensuous city. With E.M. Forster and Lawrence Durrell, who both spent time there, Cavafy is part of a literary trinity that took stock of the city’s passionate atmosphere.

Cavafy’s works, written in Greek, are the subject of comprehensive translations by Daniel Mendelsohn , American author and literary critic, in two volumes: “C.P. Cavafy: Collected Poems” and “C.P. Cavafy: The Unfinished Poems,” published last spring by Alfred A. Knopf . Mendelsohn’s are the latest of at least a dozen English-language Cavafy renditions produced since 1961. The poet, who died in 1933, has been translated in 70 languages, according to Said.
