Love and Longing: Yearning for the Face of God by Sukina Noor

hopeful inspiring reflective relaxing medium-paced

5.0

Sukina Noor's poetry has a distinctively warm and luminescent resonance. She writes from a station of embodiment, honoring her journey as a Sufi mystic in today's world. The poems in this collection read like stars within a wider constellation, creating space and mapping out the wonders of devotion and surrender to the Divine. Some pieces read like doorways, keys unlocking expansive contemplation, while other pieces hold your hands to guide them up towards the sky, and then inwards towards the heart. This is poetry that embraces you, wherever you are on the path.
