'Yahia Lababidi’s work is characterized by a contemplative tone in line with Rumi, whom he often quotes. Lababidi is a Muslim voice for peace, celebrating the wisdom in ancient traditions and pointing out the ridiculous in the rush and cynicism of contemporary life. Drawn to the mystic tradition, he often refers to the virtues and fruits of silence, and writes that his aphorisms ’respect the wisdom of silence by disturbing it, briefly.’ Perhaps an age as thoughtless and noisy as our own requires a whole book full of them.'-Plough magazine

    Jennifer Chrystie
    ‘There’s a touch of both Dickinson and Larkin in Jennifer Chrystie’s mature exhumation of the tales and tropes of family. Figures who could so easily flit like phantoms in her well honed poetry are palpably enjoying an after-life in the poet’s ability to redeem through deep understanding. The collection arcs from, at one extreme, the parsimonies of the household, to the transce...

  • Barely There
    Yahia Lababidi
    The flashy poets and the poets with a schtick get the big audience, but it is the quiet poets whose individual poems more often linger with me. I’d trade all of Ginsberg, say, for William Bronk’s six-line poem ''After Bach,'' which derives from the cello suites the lesson that sadness ''can be in part /to accept the absence of One to say it to.'' And it is Bronk whose work is c...
