> George Kalogeris's talk will focus on George Seferis as a unique representative of the Modernist Tradition. Unlike Pound and Eliot, Seferis “shores up his ruins” not by a reliance on allusions that come from outside his native tongue, but by a direct connection to the full linguistic richness of his Greek literary inheritance. I will discuss a few of my translations of George Seferis, and read some of my own poems which have been deeply influenced by his work.
> 
> Mr. Kalogeris’s most recent book of poems is Guide to Greece, (Louisiana State University, 2018). He is also the author of a book of paired poems in translation, Dialogos (Antilever, 2012), and of a book of poems based on the notebooks of Albert Camus, Camus: Carnets (Pressed Wafer, 2006). His poems and translations have been anthologized in Joining Music with Reason, chosen by Christopher Ricks (Waywiser, 2010). He is the recipient of the James Dickey Prize for Poetry. His next book of poems, Winthropos, is forthcoming from LSU Press in November, 2021.
