Description

The beloved Kashmiri-American poet Agha Shahid Ali presents his own American ghazals. Calling on a line or phrase from fellow poets, Ali salutes those known and loved--W. S. Merwin, Mark Strand, James Tate, and more--while in other searingly honest verse he courageously faces his own mortality.

Critical Reviews

His ghazals offer a path toward a level of lyric expansiveness few poets would dare to aspire to.--Michael Palmer
