S. Merwin. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As with other Persian poets, Hasan worked within a highly regulated set of poetic conventions that brought into relief the interpenetration of apparent opposites--metaphysical and material, mysterious and quotidian, death and desire, sacred and profane, fleeting time and eternity. Within these strictures, he crafted a poetics that blended Sufi Islam with non-Muslim Indic traditions. Of the Persian poets practiced the ghazal, Hafez and Rumi are best known to Western readers, but their verse represents only a small fraction of a rich tradition. This collection reveals the geographical range of the literature while introducing an Indian voice that will find a place on reader's bookshelves alongside better known Iranian names. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hasan Sijzi of Delhi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810132303\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810132306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Hasan Sijzi of Delhi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46602700030207,"sku":"9780810132306","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7598b016-69bd-4cf4-80ec-a167523641a6.jpg?v=1739695020","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/after-tomorrow-the-days-disappear-hasan-sijzi-of-delhi-9780810132306","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
