Answer:
Agha Shahid Ali, a Kashmiri-American poet who was a finalist for the 2001 National Book Award in Poetry, died on Dec. 8 at his brother's home in Amherst, Mass., where he was staying. He was 52 and had lived in Brooklyn.
The cause was brain cancer, the publishing house W. W. Norton announced.
Mr. Ali was named a finalist for his book of poems ''Rooms Are Never Finished,'' which Norton published in November. Almost 30 of its pages involve his elegy to his mother, who also died of brain cancer.
Grief and violence were among his themes.
In the poem ''Of Light,'' published in the journal Poetry this year, he wrote: ''From History tears learn a slanted understanding/of the human face torn by blood's bulletin.''
When Mr. Ali became a finalist for the National Book Award, the poet laureate of Maryland, Michael Collier, wrote: ''As a Kashmiri, Ali is aware of the historical vicissitudes that breed violence and hatred in people who once lived together peacefully. His poems speak to the enduring qualities of love and friendship. With elegance and wit, they also speak to the difficulty of maintaining such relationships.''
Another American poet, Michael Palmer, cited Mr. Ali's links to poets ranging from the Urdu-language Faiz Ahmed Faiz to the Spaniard Federico García Lorca. Mr. Ali helped introduce American poets to a venerable Persian poetic form, the ghazal.
