Longing for beauty

This evocative book of photographs and text conveys the longing, beauty, and wistfulness of Cavafy's poetry. As such, Michal's work not only illustrates some of Cavafy's most celebrated verse, it represents a great artist's sympathetic response to the work of another.

Duane Michals returns to the poetry of twentieth-century Greek poet Constantine Cavafy for inspiration for his most recent work. Michals images loosely illustrate Cavafys poetry, while investigating themes of lost time, love discovered and remembered, and the sublime realm of the surreal. "Please meet me in the circle of this conceit. These little fables of my imaginary theatrics repeat the mantras of Cavafys desires and regrets: so old today, now gone away." --Duane Michals
