Hamza Yusuf and Scott Crider meet at Zaytuna College in Berkeley, California to explore the function and finer details of poetry in our time.
Scott F. Crider is a professor of English at the University of Dallas, Constantin College of Liberal Arts. He has published extensively on the works of William Shakespeare and maintains the English Renaissance as one of his major research interests. His other academic interests include ancient and modern rhetorical tradition, the history and character of liberal education, and the English-language Bible as literature. He received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Riverside.
Hamza Yusuf is a leading proponent of classical learning in Islam. He is president of Zaytuna College, and has taught courses on Islamic jurisprudence, ethics, astronomy, logic, theology, prophetic biography, and hadith, as well as other subjects. He has published numerous articles and translations, including The Prayer of the Oppressed and Purification of the Heart. He also serves as vice president for the Forum for Promoting Peace in Muslim Societies, an international initiative that seeks to address the root causes that can lead to radicalism and militancy.
This conversation was spiritually nourishing. So refreshing to hear well educated people speak with such tender on poetry.
We're glad you benefitted. You can find more of Scott Crider's work on our website: Renovatio.zaytuna.edu
Beautiful conversation
You have to read so many books and great literature mentioned in this conversation to really grasp the essence of this beautiful conversation.
To fully grasp, yes. Or you could be beginning the journey and appreciate it even more as a source of guidance :)
If you have studied a degree in English, you'd understand it is pretty standard stuff. What's surprising is Mr Hamza Yusef is a formalist, which is a very Conservative poetical stance (some might say, Eurocentric). By the way, anyone who discusses meter, the Frost quote used by Hamza, is anticipated. But interesting discussion.
Have never studied anything with respect to poetry and this is one of the most beautiful conversations I've ever listened to.
Keep releasing content like this! I am seriously pleased i found it, this is dope!
A wonderful guest and gracious listener
It is so beautiful to be in the company of two inspiring and brilliant minds and know what real art, literature and poetry is all about. Truly sublime and uplifting. Thank you for sharing these conversations and dialogues with your countless admirers.
I really enjoyed watching this! It felt like I was really there.
What a great conversation
Thank you so much for uploading this.
Amazing talk. ..I loved the way both scholars exchanged their knowledge, ideas, views,opinions. It was education for me. I am scared to write out of fear that my writing will be incorrect grammatically.😃
Poetry is the Whisper of a distant Trumpet.
Is this quatrain poetry?
To See with Single Eye the moving Drama,
To ride the Magic Horse of Passion,
To penetrate the Net which binds us tight,
Through the Door of Liberation flashing!
Really enjoyable … need more please .

Very enlightening.....
When people got enough education they so beautiful look these great well edicuated men. I thought I was there but no where near
An exciting idea: poetry is what makes us (fully) human. Al insan huwa ibm ash-shar! Mumkin haada fikra arabiya jiddan.
Really glad to hear that Sheikh Hamza is a fan of Hank Williams! Alhamdulillah!
Amazing content that engenders rumination
We're glad you think so.
Aaaah my Captain, the moderns cannot hear poetry
