This workshop assumes no prior familia rity with the ghazal or languages and literatures other than English and w ill thus serve as an introduction to the ghazal to those seeking it\, espe cially as it entered English literary consciousness. \n\nPlease see the ev ent page for more details.\n DTSTART:20181018T190000Z DTEND:20181018T210000Z LOCATION:Room 105\, Wilson Hall\, CA\, QC\, Montreal\, H3A 2A7\, 3506 rue U niversity SUMMARY:Poetry Matters: 'The Ghazal in Persian\, Urdu and English' URL:/poetrymatters/channels/event/poetry-matters-ghaza l-persian-urdu-and-english-288892 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
