Research background
'American poet Jim Harrison observed that the Ghazal’s ancient form made it ideal for exploring contemporary issues. He said his expression found form in the Ghazal to define ‘whatever aspect of our life now that seemed to want to enter my field of vision’ (1971: 26). The Ghazal’s themes were traditionally specified – love, separation, carnality and mysticism – but these are also key themes in contemporary verse.'
