Nasos Vayenas - Publications#

"The Poet and the Dancer" (1979), this study was quickly recognized as a key work on the Nobel Laureate poet George Seferis. Vayenas’s first book of poems, "Field of Mars", appeared in 1974, and since then he has published eleven more collections, the most recent being his "Collected Poems" (2016), as well as several critical works, among them "Poetry and Translation" (1989), "The Language of Irony" (1995), which was awarded the National Prize for Criticism, and "Postmodernism and Literature" (2002). Notable among his work as editor and translator are the anthology "Conversing with Cavafy" (2000), which collected a large number of Cavafy-inspired poems from around the world, and his 2005 translation, with Ilias Layios, of Richard Berengarten’s "Black Light: Poems in Memory George Seferis" (1983).
