“almustafa is unafraid to tackle thorny issues of race, gender, class, love, hate, with a keen eye and a precision worthy of a doctor, a healer, a root worker. Listen to him, read him, and be prepared to have your mind and heart reflected by his truth-telling mirror.”

“kahlil uses his words to build images which cause us to question ourselves, our society, our past, and our future. He invites us to explore our humanity as he explores his own and uses his Spirit Words to help create a better world.”

“The words of kahlil almustafa are both fierce and loving, chilling yet warm, a reminder that poetry goes beyond spoken word touching not only the ears, but the heart and the soul. His work possesses an integrity reserved for the truly gifted, one that reminds the elders and the ancestors that we are still here, still fighting with genuine spirits like kahlil on the frontlines.”
