Pre-Order Ali Hasan's Grieving Shias

Grieving Shias, MFA student Ali Hasan's book of poems is being released this month from Sheep Meadow Press. If Ali hasn't let you know already, you can pre-order it from Amazon here or from Sheep Meadow here.

A spectacular blurb from Stanley Moss:
American English his adopted language, at home in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Syracuse, N. Y., Raza Ali Hasan deals with material unavailable to any other poet I know writing in English. Without rank, without comrades, he has fought battles of the mind and spirit. The reader may hear music he does not recognize; perhaps it is of the subcontinent. The architecture is American fusion, Mughal, postcolonial, colonial, sometimes peasant, sometimes Syracuse motel. Ali Hasan does not play cricket; his often painfully beautiful poems do not play fair.
