Cavafy was born in Alexandria, Egypt, where his Constantinopolitan Greek parents had settled in the mid-1850s. Cavafy spent his adolescence in England and Istanbul, but returned to Alexandria in 1885 where he worked as a journalist initially, and, from 1892 until his retirement in 1922, as a clerk in the Irrigation Office. Cavafy was not well-known in his lifetime, but found international recognition posthumously, and his admirers include Marguerite Yourcenar, Czeslaw Milosz, Leonard Cohen, Orhan Pamuk and Seamus Heaney.view less
