description: "Ali's ghazals are contemporary and colloquial, deceptively simple, yet still grounded in tradition....Highly recommended."― Library Journal 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.
