It has been very important to me to get inward moon outward sun published, because this collection closes a chapter in my life. Whether I will write again quite like I have written in the past, I don’t know. We will have to wait for time to show where my writing is headed.

More quotes by Shabbir Banoobhai

I hope everyone who reads, who cares, who feels, who loves – everybody.

For anyone who reads poetry – whether it is my work or that of others – it is important that they find poetry they enjoy.

The poem ‘for fatima meer’ was found to be
a threat to the security of the state.

I tried to combine protest against the politics and oppression of the time in a way that would make it possible for the poetry to survive the protest.

My recent readings are mainly books on spirituality and books on love. I particularly enjoy reading the works of Rumi. Many of the authors I read have a profound understanding of life.
