Yahia Lababidi is the author of 11 books, most recently, QUARANTINE NOTES (Fomite Press, 2023). Of his LEARNING TO PRAY (Kelsay Books, 2021) the Dean of Cambridge Muslim College, Abdal Hakim Murad, said 'it summons us to a spiritual but entirely undogmatic journey.' Carla Power, author & former Newsweek correspondent, wrote: ‘In difficult times, Lababidi’s poems help the reader to summon courage and beauty.’ Featured on PBS NewsHour, Lababidi's short meditations were generously endorsed by President Barack Obama's inaugural poet, Richard Blanco, who wrote: "Aphorisms are an ancient form, but its current-day master is Yahia Lababidi." SIGNPOSTS TO ELSEWHERE was selected as a Book of the Year by The Independent (UK) & re-issued by Hay House—the publishers of Deepak Chopra & Dr. Wayne Dyer. Lababidi, Egyptian-American author of several other well-received books of poetry & prose, has been invited to speak at Oxford University & NPR as well as featuring in Best American Poetry.

Do not look into laser with remaining eye.
