#constantinecavafy — Public Fediverse posts

For this first year of my Masters, I really want to focus on African cultural lineages and responses to antiquity so it's quite a lovely thing that arts and letters daily served up this intriguing article - https://newrepublic.com/article/198692/constantine-cavafy-poetry-inadvertent-influencer

I've never read his work before, but I certainly will now - the excerpt of his Alexandrian musings is lovely.

It does make me wonder about other north/east African contemporaries and equivalents. Who might they be?
