Noor Yusuf
Noor Yusuf is a poet and author. She has been writing and composing books, articles and poetry for many years. Her works have garnered her a number of awards at both local and national level, including being a three-times winner of the Young Muslim Writers Award.
At the age of 15, she authored The Soliloquy of the Full Moon, an original work on the nativity of the Prophet Muhammad. This is a thousand line narrative epic of fully-metered English poetry. It seamlessly fuses the classical cadences of Shakespeare and Milton with the equally classical genres of Arabic praise and biographical poetry, to create a work that is entirely unique and a definitive contribution to Western Muslim culture.
She has authored Beyond the Forest, Through the Blue Gate and Over Mist and Mountain, books written on the legendarium of the Awliya, and The Panegyricon – a multi-volumed compendium of praise poetry.
