「カイロの混雑した街路から米国の都市部まで、エジプトの先住民族のイスラム以前のコプト社会から、無謀な世界的存在感に苦しむアメリカまで、『Somewhere Else』は世代と文化の隔たりを超えている。個人的かつ政治的な、ニュアンスとエネルギーに満ちた詩の中で、シェノダはコプトの伝統を讃え、ジャズとヒップホップをリフし、場所と歴史の認識を拡大している。」--ジャケット。

From the river Nile to the teeming streets of Cairo, from the indigenous, pre-Islamic Egyptian Coptic civilization to an America struggling with its fear of the Arab world, Shenoda’s poems recall the sacred traditions of an ancient, enduring culture as they widen the political conversation surrounding ethnicity, pan-Africanism and pan-Arabism. This notable collection spans generational, political and cultural divides, providing a nuanced perspective virtually unknown in the West. Matthew Shenoda is a Coptic poet influenced by jazz musicians and the writers of the Black Arts Movement. He teaches at San Francisco State University and works as a community and racial justice activist in the Bay Area. Widely anthologized, his articles, essays and poems have appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle , The Bloomsbury Review and Newsday .
