The Book of Clouds is a collection of English-language Sufi poetry. This compilation of ghazals, quatrains, and qasidas praises and describes Divine love, loss, insight, gratitude, and mystery, bringing the forms, themes, and images of classical Islamicate poetry into English verse. The volume seeks to demonstrate the unique power of this tradition of thinking and speaking lyrically: to sing what can not be said but must be expressed.

Oludamini Ogunnaike is an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia and the author of "Deep Knowledge: Ways of Knowing in Tijani Sufism and Ifa", and "Poetry in Praise of Prophetic Perfection: West African Madih Poetry and its Precedents". This is his first published book of original poetry.
