An archaeologist of the human heart, Paul Zemokhol uncovers the memories of his Egyptian ancestors and their lost world by the Nile, and he starkly juxtaposes them with his own plain experiences of Canadian urban life in Toronto and Montreal. Writing in a style that is both lyrical and elegiac, Zemokhol yearns for a poetry that existed before him, finding remnants of it in his own memories, friendships, family relations, and heroes. This collection will seduce the reader with its lilting musicality, sincerity of feeling and richness of imagery.
