About Daniel Moore

Daniel Abdal-Hayy Moore (born 1940 in Oakland, California, USA as Daniel Moore) is an American poet, essayist and librettist. In 1970 he embraced the Sufic tradition of Islam and changed his name to Abdal-Hayy (eventually merging it with his birth name). Since then he has become known for spiritually-informed works such as Ramadan Sonnets (1996) and The Blind Beekeeper (2002), and Mohja Kahf, among others, has referred to him as "American Islam's poet laureate". In early adulthood Moore traveled widely, living in Morocco, Spain, Algeria, and Nigeria as well as in Santa Barbara in the United States. In 1990 he moved his family to the American city of Philadelphia in Pennsylvania where they still reside and where he is active in local literary and religious activities.
