Review:

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that 'Catch Me' is the most profound and motivating book of poetry that I've read to date. But it is more than a collection of poetry. It is a collection of the spirit, a collection of the heart, and a collection of the soul. - Umm Zakiyyah, internationally acclaimed author of 'If I Should Speak' trilogy and "His Other Wife" series at uzauthor.com
