Finally! The results of the music challenge are online. There are twenty-three excellent ghazals by fourteen poets. The Ghazal Page has several links to them. Here is the most direct.

These poets use the ghazal form in variously effective ways. Poetry, like music, is an art of sound; like speech, poetry is a means of communication. What poetry communicates can vary widely; what these poems communicate is a range of insights into music. I hope you will enjoy reading them as much I enjoyed editing and preparing this issue.

If you have responses to the issue or any of the poems, please post them as comments on this post.
