Jim Harrison: Collected Ghazals

The ghazal, a poetic form rooted in seventh century Arabia, became popular in the United States through the translations of Rumi, Hafiz, and Ghalib. As a young poet, Jim Harrison became enamored with ghazals, and while he ignored most of the formal rules, within the energized couplets he discovered a welcome vehicle for his driving passions, muscular genius, and wrecking-ball rages. The year Outlyer & Ghazals appeared, The New York Times honored the book with inclusion on their coveted Noteworthy Titles list, provocatively noting that these poems were worth loving, hating, and fighting over. Collected Ghazals gathers all of Harrisons's published ghazals into a single volume, accompanied by an Afterword by poet and noted ghazal writer Denver Butson, who writes that with this collection, Harrison's ghazals are ours to witness again in all their messy, brave, honest, grieving, lustful, longing humanity.

Über den Autor
Jim Harrison (1937-2016) was one of America's most celebrated writers, publishing nearly forty books across multiple genres-fiction, essay and memoir-and he also wrote screenplays and popular food columns for Esquire and Brick. He is credited for revitalizing the novella form with the publication of his best-selling trilogy Legends of the Fall. In 2007 he was elected to the Academy of Arts and Letters. Harrison died at his writing desk in 2016, only a few months after the publication of his final book of poems, Dead Man's Float.
