Ammiel Alcalay\\xa0is a poet, writer, critic, translator, archivist, and much more. As a professor of English at the CUNY Graduate Center, he is known as much for his scholarship\\xa0as for his generosity: with his time, with his attention to student\'s work, and with his talents as editor and writer. Ammiel recently visited my apartment for a conversation about his youth in Boston growing up around poet and writer\\xa0Charles Olson, his activism during the Vietnam years, and the path that led him to become a scholar of the Middle East.\\xa0
