Elaha! Elaha!: Malaysian Hybrid Ghazals

"The ghazals of Elizabeth Marshall are formally syntactically complete. But she has also updated this poetic form that is at least 1500 years old. She writes not just of childhood and heartbreak, love and loss, but also of the acute realities of contemporary Malaysian life. This is an altogether enthralling work written with deep feeling and power."
