Ahmed Morsi is a renowned painter as well as a prolific art critic, journalist, translator, and, as this book reveals to a new audience, a consummate poet.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e u003ciu003ePoems of Alexandria and New Yorku003c/iu003e, Ahmed Morsi's first volume in English translation, captures the modernity and empathy at the heart of all his works, his surrealistic humor, and his visions of the dramas of ordinary life.u003cbru003e u003cbru003e u003cbru003e u003cbru003e It comprises two of his best known collections, u003ciu003ePictures from the New York Albumu003c/iu003e and u003ciu003eElegies to the Mediterraneanu003c/iu003e, both written when he resumed writing poetry following a break of nearly 30 years after the calamitous Arab defeat in the 1967 Six-Day War. The former opens up the city of New York, his home since the mid-1970s and where he still lives and works, while the latter takes readers deep into abiding memories of the Mediterranean city of his birth, Alexandria, Egypt, in 1930.
