About The Latest: 20 Ghazals for 2020:

"Who else but the rabid feminists Denise Duhamel and Julie Marie Wade could reinvigorate the ghazal, giving it new blood, women's blood: Who else would rhyme Dolly (Parton) with Dalai (Lama)? These wild collaborators, in the spirit of the fearless Maureen Seaton, have commandeered the form, shotgunning it with Super Soakers into 2020 with questions for Alex Trebek: Did you ever guess the U.S. was in jeopardy, Alex? Did you know Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, Alex? Duhamel and Wade delight us with brilliant humor, always faithful to craft. Did Rumi ever imagine a future ghazal with Matt Dillon of Gunsmoke and Mae West colliding with Chekhov? Through lonely and desperate days, The Latest whips us awake with a much-needed reminder to guzzle, to drink it all down.”"
