SUMMARY:Read a Poet/Write a Poem: The Ghazal Poets and the Ghazal w/ Guillermo Delgado
DESCRIPTION:
 Read a Poet, Write a Poem will be focusing on 
 the Ghazal! In the first session, RCAH Professor 
 Guillermo Delgado will be focusing on the 
 ghazal form and poets who write in that form. 
 Everyone is welcome to come to one or both 
 sessions. \n
 \n
 "(Pronunciation: "guzzle") Originally 
 an Arabic verse form dealing with loss 
 and romantic love, medieval Persian poets embraced 
 the ghazal, eventually making it their 
 own. Consisting of syntactically and grammatically 
 complete couplets, the form also has an 
 intricate rhyme scheme. Each couplet ends on 
 the same word or phrase (the radif), and is 
 preceded by the couplet's rhyming word (the 
 qafia, which appears twice in the first couplet). 
 The last couplet includes a proper name, 
 often of the poet's. In the Persian tradition, 
 each couplet was of the same meter and length, 
 and the subject matter included both erotic 
 longing and religious belief or mysticism."
