“he’s so happy…he’s so happy being gay.”

Fans/readers of PIQ know quite well how large C.P. Cavafy figures in my life. In case you missed it, I’m joined here by fellow Cavafian, poet/friend EVAN JONES whose recent translations of Cavafy The Barbarians Arrive Today (Carcanet 2020) are dear to my heart.

What lovers do

“The war of an artist with his society is a lover’s war, and he does, at his best, what lovers do, which is to reveal the beloved to himself and, with that revelation, to make freedom real.”
