I had the pleasure of hearing Taha Muhammad Ali read at the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival and knew instantly I was in the presence of a great poet never to be forgotten.

His riches in life depicted by a beautiful illustration of simply inviting death to the flesh, grounded in tea and sleep. May God grant this poet paradise.
He will be missed indeed. His work was sublime, and will outlive his passing.
Taha Muhammad Ali was a spiritual prince. We may miss him but he left so much of himself with us that he can't be easily forgotten. Salams to the man!
