Call Me Ishmael Tonight: A Book of Ghazals

Front Cover
W.W. Norton, 2004 - Poetry - 87 pages
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.
