If we're suggesting Greek poetry I would like to suggest a more recent poet from my city who passed a few years ago, his name was Dinos Christianopoulos -- (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinos_Christianopoulos, some of his poems are translated here -- https://thegeby.wordpress.com/dinos-christianopoulos/)

I've heard many stories about him from locals. It appears that he was a vibrant member of the local community. One of Christianopoulos' characteristics was that we was never scared to say his opinion, and he had strong opinions. He also had some interesting opinions about other poets. When asked his opinion about other poets, he'd usually reply with something like "Interesting guy, but meh." He'd have that opinion even for some of the greatest poets. Cavafy is probably excluded though, as he appears to have liked him. In an interview, the interviewer asked him something about the current government. He said, "I don't even know who the current prime minister is." So it appears that he wasn't involved in politics much. Mostly ideologies. (Some of this information may be inaccurate and I very much apologize)

Along with that I'd like to suggest another local poet who is a bit more known: Manolis Anagnostakis -- (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manolis_Anagnostakis, poems: https://lsa.umich.edu/content/dam/modgreek-assets/Home/Windo...)

I would highly suggest reading his Wikipedia page or whatever biography you may find about him. His story is super interesting.
