Paul Abdul Wadud Sutherland is a Canadian-British poet and Sufi aspirant whose work spans over five decades of devotion to language, landscape, and the inner life. A follower of Shaykh Nazim al Haqqani, his poetry moves between the physical world and the spiritual, between the exile's perspective and the seeker's surrender.
