The Country without a Post Office by Agha Shahid Ali

Combining humane elegance and moral passion, (Agha Shahid) Ali speaks for Kashmir in a large, generous, compassionate, powerful and urgent voice. . . . Few poets in this country have such a voice or such a topic.--Hayden Carruth. Extraordinary formal precision and virtuosity. . . . This is poetry whose appeal is universal, its voice unerringly eloquent. A marvelous achievement.--Edward Said.
