Poetry Matters: Follow-Up to The Ghazal in Persian, Urdu, and English

Friday, November 23, 2018 10:30to12:30
Wilson Hall Room 105, 3506 rue University, Montreal, QC, H3A 2A7, CA

This gathering builds upon and extends the October session, "The Ghazal in Persian, Urdu, and English," which traced the ghazal from Persian and Urdu into English across an array of cultural and historical contexts from Anglo-American modernism to the Arabic poetry of Umayyad and Norman Sicily.聽This workshop assumes no prior familiarity with the ghazal or languages and literatures other than English and will thus serve as an introduction to the ghazal聽to those seeking it,聽especially as it entered English literary consciousness. Attendance of previous "Poetry Matters" meetings is not required - all are welcome.
