CLEARING THE GROUND illuminates a crucial decade of Cavafy's artistic development, marked at one end by a period of personal crisis and near creative stasis, at the other by the poetic force of the celebrated "Ithaca." The years in between are held together by the "Unpublished Notes on Poetics and Ethics." Part private confession, part public pronouncement, part journal entry, and philosophical pense, these notes were recorded between 1902 and 1911. In some of them, Cavafy attempted to formulate "thoughts and feelings never before uttered" in his own language in certain cases, in any language.
