Hailing originally from Cairo and now located in Austin, Texas, Pushcart-nominated poet Hazem Fahmy is the author of Red//Jild//Prayer and more recently, Waiting for Frank Ocean in Cairo. His work explores themes of gender, family relations and "the attempt to find meaning outside the confines of the state". "In Which the Devil Asks Me for My Name" explores the power of names and naming, who wields that power and who suffers because of it.
