Summary

This shining collection by the beloved Kashmiri-American poet (finalist for the National Book Award in 2001) is his last witness. In many of the ghazals, Ali salutes poets known and loved-W. S. Merwin, Mark Strand, James Tate, and more-while in other searingly honest ghazals he courageously faces his own mortality.
