I am so honored to participate in this amazing international round up of poets. Tanta is north of Cairo, in the Nile delta. Yeah. Cairo. No. I have never seen the pyramids. I plan to hang out in Cairo, doing little to nothing at all, sipping coffee, listening, watching, sharing space with the pyramids, the sphinx, the antiquities. I am resolved to take this in slow. What a wealth of information is Cairo.
