Framed as a haunting series of letters to an absent editor at Al-Ahram Newspaper's Friday Mail, this extraordinary poetry collection refracts the lives of Cairo's demimonde through a surreal, shimmering lens. From flooded basements to rooftop vigils, from broken radios to whispered revolutions, each plea is a cracked mirror reflecting a city unraveling and remaking itself in silence. In the void where replies should be, CAIRO: the undelivered letters dares to imagine that even unread voices echo-tender, urgent, and impossible to ignore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"I could not help but think of Jack Spicer's\u003cem\u003e After Lorca\u003c\/em\u003e, another brilliant book of epistolary poems while reading \u003cem\u003eCAIRO: the undelivered letters\u003c\/em\u003e; and what Spicer says of perfect poetry, that it 'has infinitely small vocabulary.'\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge, \u003cem\u003eA Treatise on Stars\u003c\/em\u003e (New Directions, 2020), a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 146\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 8 x 5.25 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 25, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56149152629041,"sku":"9786338295042","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/9532\/7537\/files\/M1EnMJ5q8o9786338295042.webp?v=1788685469","url":"https:\/\/mitchellofficial.com\/products\/cairo-the-undelivered-letters-the-undelivered-letters-the-undelivered-letters-the-undelivered-letters-paperback","provider":"MITCHELL","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
