Poet, diplomat, and literary critic George Seferis (1900-1971) won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1963. He is known to most readers as a myth-loving modernist. Book of Exercises II - a multi-genre volume, containing political, satiric, erotic, panegyric, and calligraphic poems drawn from the poet's diaries between 1931 to 1971 - opens up a hitherto unknown Seferis to English-language readers, offering a closer look at his creative process, opinions, and personal life.
