Waiting for Frank Ocean in Cairo

Hazem Fahmy

4.9/5 (25434 ratings)

Description:Weaving the lyrics of Frank Ocean’s discography, Hazem Fahmy’s Waiting for Frank Ocean in Cairo is a poetic account of four years of shuffling, a catalogue of the constant in-betweenness of being caught in the middle of two places across an ocean. Exploring themes of family, gender, and the attempt to find meaning outside the confines of the state, Fahmy’s sophomore collection uses the singer’s iconic music and persona as a guidepost to a firmer understanding of the self and the spaces that define it.“Hazem Fahmy is a poet of preservation. If a museum is a house that cares for, and displays, objects and vignettes of the past, then Waiting for Frank Ocean in Cairo is a museum. In it is a keen and compelling exhibition of haunting artifacts and moments from the speaker’s childhood in Egypt: evidence of a resistance to erasure and forgetting, even through migration to America. ‘I am still learning to forget the house / I learned to cook in. The house I stopped speaking / of love in,’ Fahmy writes. Part family album, part map across the geographies that have shaped his life—from Cairo’s many highways to L.A., Houston, and the Hudson—this book asserts the voice of a poet concerned at once with the minutely domestic and the transnational. In refreshingly honest, unadorned lyric, the poems on display here bring us into the world of a boy who wants nothing more than to dance to the backdrop of wreckage and newness, in a city ‘in love with its fences.’” —Sara Elkamel, author of Field of No JusticeWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
