Dr. Virji walks the walk in a way that few people do, and what he has to say is urgently important. I'm so glad I happened upon his book. ( ) How Lovely the Ruins is a nice collection of both poetry and inspirational thoughts organized around six themes. The poems are well selected and closely matched t the theme of their section of the book and the inspirational quotations stand out in their eloquence and insightfulness. Many of the poets included in this anthology will be familiar to most readers while and equal number will not be. This juxtaposition of the familiar and unfamiliar provides one of the book's strengths, allowing readers to recall works they may have already enjoyed and to discover new works or authors to expand their reading experience. The juxtaposition of old and new and the close adherence to the themes the editors created make this good collection and most readers will find some contributions that they will want to remember and come back to in the years ahead.

"A powerful true story about a Muslim doctor's service to a small town and the hope of overcoming our country's climate of hostility and fear. In 2013, Dr. Ayaz Virji left a comfortable job at an East Coast hospital and moved to a town of 1,400 in Minnesota, feeling called to address the shortage of doctors in rural America. But in 2016, this decision was tested when the reliably blue, working-class county swung for Donald Trump. Virji watched in horror as his children faced anti-Muslim remarks at school and some of his most loyal patients began questioning whether he belonged in the community. Virji wanted out. But in 2017, just as he was lining up a job in Dubai, a local pastor invited him to speak at her church and address misconceptions about what Muslims practice and believe. That invitation has grown into a well-attended lecture series that has changed hearts and minds across the state, while giving Virji a new vocation that he never would have expected. In [this book], Virji relates this story in a gripping, unforgettable narrative that shows the human consequences of our toxic politics, the power of faith and personal conviction, and the potential for a renewal of understanding in America's heartland."--Dust jacket.
