From the pages of his 'indie' literary magazine comes editor R. W. Watkins's Contemporary Ghazals: An Anthology. This volume collects the best poems from the rarely published yet groundbreaking journal dedicated to the classic Arabic and Persian form that lends it its title.This book also reflects the development of the English-language ghazal in general since the turn of the 21st century, for its pages are populated almost exclusively by regular practitioners of the form in English. As Watkins points out in the introduction, the majority of regular practitioners have been published at some time or another in an issue of Contemporary Ghazals. This is what distinguishes this collection from the first English-language ghazals anthology, Agha Shahid Ali's Ravishing DisUnities (2000), which was comprised largely of then-novices and 'name poets' who dabbled.Thus one shall find in this anthology the ghazals of such prominent poets as I. H. Rizvi of India and the late Kashmiri-American Agha Shahid Ali. Alongside their work can be found that of such longtime U.S. practitioners as William Dennis, Denver Butson, Steffen Horstmann and Barbara Little. Also to be found is the work of relative newcomers like Vivek Sharma and Nicola Masciandaro, who have established themselves as 'contenders' in just a short while. As well, Canadian editor Watkins himself is represented by some of the more experimental ghazals in the anthology. The result is a collection that can most definitely stand as the form's canon in English.

A star-studded anthology infuses English poetry with the rigor and wit of a foreign form. In recent years, the ghazal (pronounced "ghuzzle"), a traditional Arabic form of poetry, has become popular among contemporary English language poets. But like the haiku before it, the ghazal has been widely misunderstood and thus most English ghazals have been far from the mark in both letter and spirit. This anthology brings together ghazals by a rich gathering of 107 poets including Diane Ackerman, John Hollander, W. S. Merwin, William Matthews, Paul Muldoon, Ellen Bryant Voigt, and many others. As this dazzling collection shows, the intricate and self-reflexive ghazal brings the writer a unique set of challenges and opportunities. Agha Shahid Ali's lively introduction gives a brief history of the ghazal and instructions on how to compose one in English. An elegant afterword by Sarah Suleri Goodyear elucidates the larger issues of cultural translation and authenticity inherent in writing in a "borrowed" form.

THE QASIDA: A World Anthology Translations, Introduction by Paul Smith The qasida is a form of praise poetry from pre-Islamic Arabia. It sometimes runs to more than 50 lines and sometimes more than 100.

The qasida resembles a ghazal in many ways except that it is longer. Included with each poet is a brief biography plus a list of further reading. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept as well as the beauty and meaning of these beautiful poems. Introduction: The Qasida: The Beginnings in Arabia... The Persian Qasida... Qasida in Turkey.

The Drunken Hāféz is a compilation of Fifty Ghazals, carefully selected from the celebrated Dīvān of Hãféz of Shiraz, translated word for word from the original Persian into English by Khashayar Bahar, along with an in-depth foreword thoroughly covering the major influences on the mind of the 14th century Shirazi poet. Sufi masters such as Hallaj, Ibn Arabi, Sohrevardi, Ferdowsi, Khayyam and Rumi are studied in detail to better understand the deeper inlaid meanings within the texture of the Hafez Ghazals, along with biographical and sociological references, contemporary to the Shirazi Master of Ghazals; bringing it all into a current perspective, translated into a Shakespearean medium, reflective of the original Persian Sufi language of chivalry, honor and all-inclusive love. Each Ghazal is accompanied by footnotes, that further explain the very words used by Hāféz in the original Farsi. The twenty eight illustrations are original paintings by Jena Ellen Greentree, reflective of Sufi motifs and Hāféz themes such as "the Chalice", "the Ghetto", "the Feast", "the Ceremony", "Foresight", "Magi Boy", "Rain dancers" and so forth. Amongst the many Hāféz translations available in the west, "The Drunken Hāféz" aspires to provide the reader with an honest, untainted, transparent and eloquent translation of the original Persian Ghazals. And as Hāféz was one of the first controversial and free-loving Persian poets of the Islamic Era, these translations seek not to hide his human side as often is the case with most other translations and editions; and are easy to understand and self-evident, without any personal inferences by the translator. As Hāféz loves everyone and is meant to be read by and for everyone, these translations offer the readers the real and untampered character of the original author of the Ghazals, his genuine persona, often hidden beneath the thick crust of Sufi dialectics and sophistry; either often seen through the decadent lens of the Mughals, or the orthodox view of Islamic scholars. The Drunken Hāféz seeks to introduce the all-loving and all too human Hāféz to the free-loving world; an easy Vessel to set sail on the enchanting waters of Persian Poetry, and a relishing Chalice of Celestial Wine. Salut! (Old Persian: Shād-Zī)
