Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE GHAZAL IN ARABIC POETRY An Anthology Translation & Introduction Paul Smith Some scholars see the ghazal as coming from Arabic poetry, especially the prelude to longer poems, i.e. the qasida: they say that this prelude was isolated and changed, to eventually become the ghazal. The Arabic root of the word ghazal is gazl which means: spinning, spun, thread, twist... the form of the ghazal is a spiral. Hazrat Ali's ghazal in this volume seems to confirm that it was originally of Arabic creation. Whatever the origin, by the fifteenth century the ghazal had become a mature form of poetry. Introduction includes... Classical Arabic Poetry, The Ghazal in Arabic Poetry. Included with each selection of a particular poet is a biography plus a list of further reading. The correct rhyme-structure has been kept as well as the power and meaning of these beautiful, often mystical poems. THE POETS... Hazrat Ali, Rabi'a of Basra, Abu Nuwas, Dhu'l-Nun, Mansur al-Hallaj, Al-Ma'arri, Ibn al-Farid, Ibn 'Arabi, Aishah al-Ba'uniyah. Large Format Paperback 7" x 10" Pages 150.

Book excerpt: The "Ghazal" has long been a part of the literary tradition of Persia. In style, it consists of a number of carefully-crafted stanzas with the author's name appearing in the final one. The ghazals, or poems, included in this collection contain the crystallized philosophy of Sufi Master Molana Shah Maghsoud Sadegh Angha (Professor Angha). Writing at the young age of 23, Professor Angha's words were a fair reflection of his life at the time, and the life he was to unfold. Based originally on a Persian form, they should be treasured simply as beautiful poetry by those people seeking a meaningful way of life. Contents: Introduction; Selections from Ghazaliat; Chants; Glossary; Genealogy of Maktab Tarighat Oveyssi Shahmaghsoudi (School of Islamic Sufism) and list of works by the author.

Book excerpt: 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.Absences Assume Shadows Steffen HorstmannAbsences assume shadows that graze in the outer dark.Faces float in mists, a zephyr sways in the outer dark.Hypnotic rain falls in spirals, pavements thrumAs you mull in a daze in the outer dark.Crickets tick to sparks flaring in grasses, dust waversWith the crackling of a blaze in the outer dark.Waves splash stones off the jetty, a palm tree dancesWith its shadow as it sways in the outer dark.Through latticed smoke phantasms shimmerLike an auroral blaze in the outer dark.Dense ivy sprawls over desiccated hedgerowsThat once formed a maze in the outer dark.In a pond's mist a geisha's ghost bows, you leanTo hear what her whisper conveys in the outer dark.On the temple grounds breezes chant koansAs a bodhisattva prays in the outer dark.Wraiths formed of smoke are lit by sparksA roiling pyre sprays in the outer dark.The stone tombs of ascetics shelter windsThat rave of forays in the outer dark.

This book was released on 2023-05-09 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the very first Persian poets was a woman (Rabe’eh, who lived over a thousand years ago) and there have been women poets writing in Persian in virtually every generation since that time until the present. Before the twentieth century they tended to come from society’s social extremes. Many were princesses, a good number were hired entertainers of one kind or another, and they were active in many different countries – Iran of course, but also India, Afghanistan, and areas of central Asia that are now Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan. Not surprisingly, a lot of their poetry sounds like that of their male counterparts, but a lot doesn’t; there are distinctively bawdy and flirtatious poems by medieval women poets, poems from virtually every era in which the poet complains about her husband (sometimes light-heartedly, sometimes with poignant seriousness), touching poems on the death of a child, and many epigrams centered on little details that bring a life from hundreds of years ago vividly before our eyes. This new bilingual edition of The Mirror of My Heart – the poems in Persian and English on facing pages – is a unique and captivating collection introduced and translated by Dick Davis, an acclaimed scholar and translator of Persian literature as well as a gifted poet in his own right. In his introduction he provides fascinating background detail on Persian poetry written by women through the ages, including common themes and motifs and a brief overview of Iranian history showing how women poets have been affected by the changing dynasties. From Rabe’eh in the tenth century to Fatemeh Ekhtesari in the twenty-first, each of the eighty-four poets in this volume is introduced in a short biographical note, while explanatory notes give further insight into the poems themselves.
