Somewhere Else
Matthew Shenoda
Introduction by Sonia Sanchez

2006 American Book Award Winner

"This book holds the keys to our present global predicament—each word is a star in our night."—Juan Felipe Herrera

From the teeming streets of Cairo to the urban United States, from Egypt's indigenous, pre-Islamic Coptic society to an America struggling with its reckless global presence, Somewhere Else spans generational and cultural divides. In poems both personal and political, nuanced and energized, Shenoda celebrates his Coptic heritage, riffs on jazz and hip-hop, and expands perceptions of place and history.
