The University of Utah Press awards the Agha Shahid Ali Poetry Prize annually "in memory of a celebrated poet and beloved teacher".[3] Early life and educationAgha Shahid Ali was made in the illustrious and highly educated Agha family of Srinagar, Kashmir.[4][5] He was born in Kashmir but left in the United States in 1976.[6] Shahid's father Agha Ashraf Ali is a renowned educationist of Jammu and Kashmir. Shahid's grandmother Begum Zaffar Ali an educationist, was the first woman matriculate of Kashmir.[7] Shahid was educated at the Burn Hall School, later University of Kashmir and the Hindu College, University of Delhi.[1] He earned a Ph.D. in English from Pennsylvania State University in 1984, and an M.F.A. from the University of Arizona in 1985.[1] He held teaching positions at nine universities and colleges in India and the United States.[1] WorksAli expressed his love and concern for his people in In Memory of Begum Akhtar and The Country Without a Post Office, which was written with the Kashmir conflict as backdrop.[7] He was a translator of the Urdu poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz (The Rebel's Silhouette; Selected Poems),[8] and the editor for the Middle East and Central Asia segment of Jeffery Paine's Poetry of Our World.[9] He compiled the volume Ravishing DisUnities: Real Ghazals in English. His last book was Call Me Ishmael Tonight, a collection of English ghazals, and his poems are featured in American Alphabets: 25 Contemporary Poets (2006) and other anthologies. Ghat of the only world written by Amitav Ghosh is a tribute of friend to Agha Shahid Ali. Ali was the close friend of Amitav Ghosh. Ali taught at the MFA Program for Poets & Writers at University of Massachusetts Amherst, at the MFA Writing Seminars at Bennington College as well as at creative writing programs at University of Utah, Baruch College, Warren Wilson College, Hamilton College and New York University.

Several niches in his apartment had photos of the people who had deeply influenced his work - Akhtar's photo occupied one of these spaces. The two had met through a friend of Akhtar's when Ali was a teenager and her music became a lasting presence in his life. Features of her ghazal rendition - the presence of wit, wordplay and nakhra(affectation) were found in Ali's poetry as well. However, Amitav Ghosh suspects that the strongest connection between the two rose from the idea that "sorrow has no finer mask than a studied lightness of manner" - traces of which were seen in Ali's and Akhtar's demeanor in their respective lives.[11] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url = http://jacketmagazine.com/18/ali.html| title = A Tribute to Agha Shahid Ali|publisher = Jacket Magazine|accessdate = 2 January 2010}} 2. ^{{cite book|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=6v659OPjoKIC&pg=PA194 |title = An interethnic companion to Asian American literature|quote=Contemporary South Asian American writers belong primarily to this middle and upper class: Indo-American Agha Shahid Ali, Meena Alexander, Bharati Mukherjee, Vikram Seth, Pakistani American Sara Suleria, Javaid Qazi, Indo-Canadian Rohinton Mistry, Uma Parameswaran, Sri Lankan Canadian Michael Ondaatje, and Indo-Guyanese Canadian Cyril Dabydeen, among others.|publisher = Cambridge University Press|accessdate = 2 January 2010|isbn = 9780521447904|year = 1997}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://uofupress.com/ali-poetry-prize.php|title=Agha Shahid Ali Poetry Prize|work=uofupress.com|accessdate=18 January 2015}} 4. ^ 5. ^[https://aghafamilyofsrinagarkashmir.wordpress.com] 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.rattle.com/the-veiled-suite-the-collected-poems-by-agha-shahid-ali/|title=The veiled suite, the collected poems by agha shahid ali|publisher=Rattle|date=10 June 2009|author=Sarah Wetzel-Fishman}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|url = http://www.outlookindia.com/article.aspx?216239| title = 'The Worst chapter of Class 11 Snapshots': Agha Shahid Ali in Brooklyn|publisher = Outlook|accessdate = 2 January 2010}} 8. ^Book Excerptise:Rebel's Silhouette (extended extracts and literary history) 9. ^Poetry of Our World (excerpts) 10. ^{{cite journal|last1=Parveen|first1=Rasheda|title=Agha Shahid Ali’s English Ghazals and the Transnational Politics of Literary Subversion|journal=The Challenge|date=2014|volume=23|issue=1|url=http://www.thechallenge.org.in/PDF%20jan%202%20june%202014/AGHA_SHAHID_ALI___S_ENGLISH_GHAZALS.pdf}} 11. ^{{cite web|last1=Ghosh|first1=Amitav|title=The Ghat of The Only World|url=http://www.amitavghosh.com/aghashahidali.html|website=Amitav Ghosh}} Further reading
