U Michigan C. P. Cavafy Professorship's 25 years;; "Cavafy Forum" additions

[Artemis Leontis]

Dear colleagues,

The University of Michigan is celebrating the C.P. Cavafy Professorship's 25th anniversary: 25 years of research, program building, teaching, mentorship, leadership at all levels in the profession, supporting creative work, and public outreach. Please find attached the Program's Fall-Summer 2024-2025 newsletter summarizing our work of 25 marvelous years. 

The C.P. Cavafy Forum is a piece of the C.P. Cavafy Professorship's public outreach. 

I'm sharing two recently uploaded videos:  

• Webinar: Maria Boletsi, author of Specters of Cavafy, in conversation with Will Stroebel (May 2025)
• Concert Video: C. P. Cavafy in Music: A Recital of Songs and Reflections (April 2012)
• Concert program

This year, we planning a book presentation of Will Stroebel's Literature's Refuge at Literati Bookstore on September, a talk by Paschalis Kitromilidis on October 8, and a webinar with Peter Jeffreys and Gregory Jusdanis in conversation with myself next May on their coauthored book, Constantine Cavafy: A New Biography (US publication) and The Alexandrian Sphinx (UK publication). 

Happy reading!

Artemis
