Rehan Qayoom's Prose 1997-2008 is a fantastic read which is diverse and covers everything from spirituality and mythology to love, prose, and the documenting of the modern world as he sees it.
He writes of the importance of maintaining personal integrity, spiritual integrity, and artistic integrity at all costs. He says in order to be effective at documenting history through artistic means, it is essential that the artist work diligently to maintain a purity of spirit.
He states that poetry is one of the most powerful of all arts, for it creates a portrait of beauty from chaos and disorder. However, poetry is more than provocative thoughts, it requires purity of form and consistency of "language sanctity."
Qayoom's book is a work of superior intelligence and wisdom, written from a sincere desire to share his love of literature with others. Like all Great Teachers, Qayoom's written works are gifts to those seeking inspiration!

Rehan Qayoom is a poet with a romanticism which lingers beneath intelligent verses as the author writes of what it is to be an individual in a world where many neglect to contemplate the meaning of their own lives.
About Time reminds us in more than one way, that life truly is what you make of it. It is every individual's responsibility to contribute beauty and greatness to this planet, and Qayoom's inspiring verses urge all to do so.
Qayoom's passion for literature speaks volumes of how connected he feels with history and persons of the past. He speculates, if one consumes himself with literature from the past, is he being present for today?

About Time is a beautifully written collection of deeply moving poetry which inspires the reader into action. Qayoom's writings, are the writings of one who has mastered his craft! Excellent read!
