The launch of "My Alexandria Poems and Prose" by Desmond O’Grady at the BA

Posted on

Alexandria—the BA Alexandria and Mediterranean Research Center (Alex-Med) will celebrate on Sunday, 18 March 2007, the launch of My Alexandria Poems and Prose by Desmond O’Grady.

Irish Poet and Professor Desmond O’Grady (1935– ) moved to Alexandria in the late 1970s to teach and write. He followed Callimachus, Cavafy and Durrell through the streets of the city, and wrote poems about his impressions of Alexandria.

His autobiographical Alexandrian reflections during both the 1970s and 1990s support the poetic anthology, both showing their author’s attempt to come to terms with his own lost youth.
