It is in times like this, when words fail me, or simply fail to appear, that I turn to the beauty and pleasure of poetry. A delicate blossom which, for once, I struggle to describe – one whose fragrance is permeating my soul and filling up my eyes while absorbing all my words. Can it truly be that there are only a few more days till we bid the blessing of you goodbye? Considering all that is happening in the world, being given the gift of this Ramadan feels even more precious and even more fragile.

It brings together the verses of multi-generational voices exploring themes including love and loss, identity and belonging and Islamic spirituality. The anthology gives the reader a glimpse of the thoughts, hopes and challenges of those who see the world through two or more cultural lenses and provides an authentically Muslim space for the expression of our spiritual, social and personal lives. It provides a platform for Muslim voices to be heard speaking about their experiences in their own words, offering an antidote to the stereotyped, one-dimensional portrayal of Muslims we see so often in the media.
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF STORIES - Muslim Voices in Contemporary Poetry brings together the myriad voices of eighty Muslim poets from diverse backgrounds to powerfully articulate what it means to be Muslim in the modern world. Their poetry navigates all the seasons of life, reflecting and meditating through their outward and inward pilgrimages upon our relationships to those around us and to the Divine. Through their insights and inspirations we find ourselves in London, New York, Istanbul, Fez, Damascus and Makka, in mosques and at sacred sites, in deserts, mountains, and under towering redwoods, in heart-opening moments of connection. From every continent and spanning generations, their collective experiences appear in verses of love, devotion, grief and healing, as they take us on a journey through cityscapes and the natural beauty of the world we live in. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - The poets in this anthology are seekers, teachers, artists, parents, activists and much more.
