Fills a serious gap in contemporary poetry in translation, in general, and in Greek poetry, in particular.

KAREN VAN DYCK directs the Program of Hellenic Studies at Columbia University where she teaches Modern Greek language and literature as well as courses in women's studies. The companion volume of this anthology is her critical study Kassandra and the Censors: Greek Poetry Since 1976 (Cornell University Press, 1998) in which she places the poetry of Rhea Galanaki, Maria Laina and Jenny Mastoraki, among others, in its cultural context.
