Nanos Valaoritis

Nanos Valaoritis, born in Lausanne on 5 July 1921, the son of a diplomat and great-grandson of the poet Aristotelis Valaoritis, published his first verses at the age of eighteen. At Seferis's instigation, he left in 1944 for London to forge links between the letters of the two countries: there he met Eliot, Auden and Dylan Thomas, worked for Louis MacNeice at the BBC and translated the Greek modernists. He lived in Paris from 1954 to 1960 among Breton's surrealists, edited the review Páli in Athens, went into exile in 1968 and taught for twenty-five years in San Francisco. He died in 2019.
