Nile, A chapbook of poems inspired by ancient Egyptian monuments and modern Egyptian tradesmen, documented in color photographs-all enabled by side trips taken near, and days spent drifting down, the Nile River. Included subjects are the Pyramids, Abu Simbel, Tutankhamun, Karnak, and the Valley of the Kings, as well as modern workers like camel traders, box makers, and galabeya tailors. The Nile is the living thread. 13 poems, 18 color photographs.
