Ireland and Alexandria - connections

My own connections with Alexandria are nebulous - mainly a deep love inspired by Constantin Cavafi's poetry., Cavafi who was of Greek origin spent his life in Alexandria and was an inspiration to poets like Auden and many others. His voice is so unique that it survives a range of translations and still manages to sound like him.

While researching materials for the Alexandrian panel of 'To Reach a Port' I found this article interesting:
