How do we capture those brief and fleeting moments when we fall in love with someone? Might I suggest a ghazal? On this week's episode we take a look at Ghazal by Mimi Khalvati. Khalvati expertly navigates the rigorous Arabic form making it a perfect vehicle for the English Language. In the process of doing so she reconnects the native culture of her birth, Iran, with the adopted culture of her present, England. It is a poem that is a testament to all the wonderful feelings that accompany being in love.
