The Ghazal Challenges
Beginning in 2008, The Ghazal Page has issued a series of challenges. The challenges have mostly focused on use of a common radif, although not all of them have been. The current challenge is here. The results of earlier challenges may be accessed through the special issues index.
Who We Are
The Ghazal Page began in 1999, the year that we got desktop computers at home. It has seen many changes since then and published many good ghazals. This year, seven contributing editors have joined The Ghazal Page. These folks have already made substantial contributions of poetry and prose to The Ghazal Page. You may expect to see more work from them as well as special issues and other items. The participation of these talented people will enrich The Ghazal Page.
