A 50 year exploration on the meaning of love, life, spirituality and religion has culminated in this visionary book of reflective meditations and poems.  In;To The Hard Roof of The Universe Nafis Khan’s eloquent wisdom and evocative poetry, speaks to the soul of those seeking to explore why we exist, how we deal with love, pain, joy and grief, in essence the very expression and miracle of life. 

Khan has been able to seamlessly merge the beliefs, faiths and spirituality of Eastern and Western thought, in so doing, creating reflections on the mysteries of life that both inspire and provoke.  It is a book that explores passion, love and the conflicts of different faiths as seen from one who is a true son of the Caribbean.  Born of a Protestant mother, a Muslim father and a heritage that is a melting pot of  Indian, White, Black, Hispanic and AmerIndian, Nafis Khan delves into the crisis of identity inherent in any belief structure.  Whether daring to question the very creation of life as seen in “Genesis Revisited” or the traditions and customs of diverse religious orders with “ Do You Care”, this humble poet dares to shine a light on the need for one to  “go within or you go without.”
