In the Wake of the Day is a book of memories and journeys; from the chaotic energy of urban life in modern Istanbul, where John Ash lives, to the ruins of vanished civilisations; from personal incident to the narratives and vacancies of cultures. Ash inhabits the fertile and ambiguous territory where East and West meet. We 'know and do not know'; the past. In an 'imperial city without empire, place of paradox';, time too becomes fluid. The ancient, half-imagined past of Ur, Alexandria, Cappadocia coexists with a contemporary world in which 'tank tracks are driven over Babylon';. At the centre of this collection are John Ash';s versions of poems by the great Alexandrian C.P. Cavafy. Working with Cavafy';s voice, Ash expresses his own urbane intelligence.
