"If you have the privilege, you already have the
right to peruse Aileen Muhammad's collection of work
from 2009 to present. I have. You had been whisked away
at the very first word of every piece she has written.
Aileen will unleash your spirit and take you somewhere.
And everyone of her riveting, healing, love pods, take
you by the hand, walks you across the street to Karma,
then, hurl you through non-stop imagery, imaginings,
soul deep steep vision parables that make it exciting to
you 'see' for your Self what you have read. Sustained
takes every line of verse and weaves them seamlessly
with Bai's (Carl Karni-Bain)consuming paintings that
tour Persona, the soul of persona. Sustained places
every verse and image on the tip of your tongue. Yes,
Sustained speaks from you, through you, to where you
must go. Aileen's, Sustained, incurs nature, stretches
longing to the nth degree. Both holy and sacred, Aileen
defines the microcosmic juncture of the two, a formula
for transcendence. Sustained traverses every revered
poetic structure with a very delightful page of Haiku
Feathers that manipulates the sparkle in your eye. But,
oh my, the signature structural fierceness of Sustained
Aileen Muhammad is a fearless language soloist.
Sustained is a School of Thought entry to the annals."
