Author: Guthema Roba
Reviews:
“In the depth of Guthema's words, one indeed finds oneself coming home, to a place of solace, a place of peace, and a place of constant bliss. There is no better alchemy to what ails all of us in this modern world, then to return to the whispers of The Beloved found in Guthema Roba's divine poetry.”
—Paul Goldman, author of Journey into Oneness, Wild Joy: Ruminations and the spoken word CD Wild Joy: The Ecstatic Poetry of Paul Goldman
“Words as breath known, vision held, aspiration shared, heartfelt utterance that, upon paper, gifts the spirit. Passions of the soul in echoes of grace, this the poetry of Guthema Roba.”
—Rose Marie Raccioppi, poet laureate Orangetown, New York. Author of: The Wind and the Willow
“Guthema Roba came from the agricultural peasant soil and roots of Ethiopia, but more specifically from a pious and nurturing traditional Oromo land. When I first encountered his poetic postings on Facebook, I thought I was reading the classic work of Rumi, but after a while it was clear that this was a distinct voice of today that flowed daily from an ancient stream of embodied wisdom and vision. Guthema’s poetic waters bring you offerings for the mind, body, and soul. Drink and be renewed.”
—Louis Alemayehu, Ancestor Energy
About the Author: Guthema Roba currently works for the Hennepin County library. He was born and partly grew up in Ethiopia, East Africa, before he immigrated to the United States. His book Please Come Home is a collection of mystical poetry that remind us to live in the present moment. He says life becomes a prayer when fully lived and celebrated each day. Good poetry, he adds, is the one that brings us closer to our heart. He writes poetry on a daily basis and lives in Minneapolis with his wife and daughter.
