“Baraka Blue's poetry is not only beautiful, powerful, lyrical and profound, it also has this unique ability to awaken something deep within the reader, to help us remember ancient wisdom that many of our species have forgotten. This is more than art, it is alchemy."
— ADEYINKA MUHAMMAD MENDES - POET, TEACHER, TRANSLATOR
“Baraka Blue has taken his place as the leading exponent of Sufi inspired verse in the English language and the clear successor to the late Daniel Abdal Hayy Moore who virtually invented the genre. The poet Caroline Forche called Moore “a rarity among his contemporaries - a surrealist of the sacred.”
By contrast, the younger poet might be called “a realist of the sacred.”
His poetry invokes the immediacy of the Divine Presence as a constant, contemplative reality. He looks for God in everything, never deviating from this essential vision. The Art of Remembrance is another tour de force from the American Muslim poet, a rich collection of verse steeped in the metaphysical language of Islamic spirituality, with a subliminal Hip-Hop heartbeat.”
— MICHAEL SUGICH - AUTHOR OF SIGNS ON THE HORIZON, HEART’S TURN, & EXEMPLARS FOR OUR TIME
