Nikos Kavvadias, A Global Poet; Reflections of Baudelaire and Masefield

Summary/Abstract: The title of this paper has been chosen for two reasons. Firstly, Kavvadias traveled the world and this is reflected through his poetry. Reading his poems, one can see several place names from different countries and non-Greek names; this is an element which gives his poems an exotic character. Second, although one might see some influences from other Modern Greek poets or the Greek tradition in general, Kavvadias embodies in his poetry strong influences from other poets outside Greece; and this is what we are going to discuss.
