A Tribute to C.P. Cavafy

Unheralded in his day but now recognized as an irrefutable influence on modern poetry, 20th-century Greek verse writer Cavafy wrote about history, longing and being gay with a stark beauty. Tonight, writers and performers including Michael Cunningham, Olympia Dukakis, Mark Doty, Kathleen Turner and many more mark the 150th anniversary of Cavafy's birth.
