Description

Louis de Bernières' debut poetry collection, Imagining Alexandria, is a gift to readers of his fiction. Beautifully illustrated with line drawings by Donald Sammut, this collection returns to the Mediterranean landscape that has inspired so much of his writing. De Bernières was introduced to Greek poetry while in Corfu in 1983, and since then he has been drawn to the works of Cavafy, whose influence can be seen in these poems. Rich in sensuality, nostalgia, and music, Imagining Alexandria is a collection that explores the distant past, the erotic, and the philosophical. With its unique blend of style and sensibility, this poetry collection is sure to appeal to readers who appreciate lyrical language and evocative imagery.
