Egyptian Compass (Custom Words, an imprint of WordTech Communications, 2006)
“The world map/colored yellow and green/draws a straight line from Boston to Cairo,” observes Pauline Kaldas in her rich collection Egyptian Compass. And so these poems navigate seamlessly between two worlds, the West and the Middle East, linking memory and perspective of the now through a chorus of Egyptian and American voices.
