Abstract:
True to these seminal lines of Yusuf Xaji Adan Qabile, Magool has blossomed ever since, destined to enthrall the Somali-speaking peoples of the Horn of Africa and beyond with her captivating voice over the next forty-plus years…never to be silenced as long as a person who speaks Somali lives on the face of the earth.

Abstract:
It may seem unbecoming for a poet to take pains to elucidate his work for the general reader. And I may agree with Robert Penn Warren who said, “The poet is in the end probably more afraid of the dogmatist who wants to extract the message from the poem and throw the poem away than he is of the sentimentalist who says, 'Oh, just let me enjoy the poem.'”
