Knocking from Inside / Poems
By Tiel Aisha Ansari
KNOCKING FROM INSIDE, BY TIEL AISHA ANSARI, is the journey of the human soul towards the Divine approached through a number of doorways: sorrow, the natural world, and the listening heart. We travel through both real and illusionary lands to (re)join the Beloved at the end of all paths. “When Tiel says ‘God’ she means it, in all her various ways and fresh poetic stratagems, in these poems in which there are many strata, and in this book which contains many gems.” — Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore
