"Call Me Ishmael Tonight: A Book of Ghazals" is a poetry collection by Daniel Nayeri that reimagines the classic Herman Melville novel, Moby-Dick, through the lens of the ghazal form. The book features a series of lyrical poems that explore themes of identity, longing, and the search for meaning, drawing connections between the struggles of the characters in the novel and contemporary experiences. The ghazal is a traditional form of poetry originating from Persian literature, characterized by its couplets and refrains. Nayeri's work invites readers to engage with the emotional depth of Moby-Dick while also reflecting on personal and cultural narratives, making it accessible to a diverse audience.
