More Information

“Kazim Ali is a poet, novelist, and professor. He was born April 5, 1971, in London, England, but he soon moved to Canada where he spent a few years of his early life. Eventually he settled in the United States. Ali's first introduction to poetry and the cadence of language was listening to his father recite verses from the Qur'an. Ali attended the University of Albany in New York where he studied political science, folklore, and poetry, eventually earning his M.A. in English literature. He completed some political work for a statewide organization and taught literary workshops in the Buffalo area before he returned to school to earn an M.F.A. in creative writing from New York University.”
