About this title: Developed in the 10th century, the ghazal is an important Arabic verse form written in couplets according to a strict rhyme and repetition scheme. This anthology uniquely collects 107 English language poems written in this complicated, historic form. Poets include John Hollander, W. S. Merwin, and Diane Ackerman, among many others. Ali offers a helpful introduction explains the nuances of the form in his introduction, with a reflective afterword penned by noted author Sara Goodyear Suleri.
