Descripción del sitio
Cairo, Egypt
Cairo is the capital of Egypt and the largest city in the Arab world and Africa. Its metropolitan area is the 16th largest in the world. Located near the Nile Delta, it was founded in 969 AD.
Albert Frank Moritz (born April 15, 1947) is a poet, teacher, and scholar. He has lived in Toronto since graduating from Marquette University in Milwaukee in 1974. He teaches literature and creative writing at the University of Toronto.
Genuine political poetry is immensely difficult. Moritz succeeds, not because his list of atrocities is longer or more shocking, but because his vision is underwritten - not whitewashed - by an ecstatic lyricism that knows evanescence is the only enduring truth.
