Sharif S. Elmusa

"These are an exile's poems, marked by loss but offered with a generous spirit. Through them, the landscape transforms-revealing, through Elmusa's vision, its difficult beauty. This is not grounds for despair, then. But ground to work from. That is hope, indeed." --Melanie Carter, poet
