For its humor as well as its spirituality, the poems in this collection can perhapsbest be described as \"Wallace Stevens meets Rumi.\" Perhaps most striking is the poet's use of the ancient ghazal form in the tradition of the classical masters like Hafez and Rumi to politically challenge the Islamic Republic of Iran's continual crackdown on protesters. Not since the late Agha Shahid Ali has a poet translated the letter as well as the spirit of this form into English, using musicality and inventive rhyme to extend the reach of the ghazal in a new language and tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Sedarat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0821419501\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780821419502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/09\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.25lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.54h x 5.57w x 0.23d","brand":"Roger Sedarat","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947345805567,"sku":"9780821419502","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_d459a6cc-74cb-406c-b489-66d3efa4f250.jpg?v=1681518175","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ghazal-games-roger-sedarat-9780821419502","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
