About this title

Synopsis

Ghazals in English by Winston Plowes. Some Ghazals have been translated into Urdu.

Ghazal 'Could be home' by Winston Plowes is an inspiring attempt at a difficult classical Persian form. The result is spare, direct and forceful, capturing the complex in simple language.

The Big Scribble

You handle the traditional form of the ghazal very well.

Lorna Crozier

An English poet has successfully managed to write ghazals that, on the one hand, fulfil all the technical conditions required by the genre, and on the other, have a new flavour, hitherto unknown to the form.

I think you have come as close to the ghazal form as is possible in English.

Basir Sultan Kazmi

When I listen to Winston reading his ghazals in English I hear them in Urdu.

Nabia Jameel

Stylish, deft and heartfelt writing that shows us form can mean freedom.

Helen Mort
