Of his LEARNING TO PRAY (Kelsay Books, 2021) Carla Power, author & former Newsweek correspondent, wrote:

‘In difficult times, Lababidi’s poems help the reader to summon courage and beauty.’

Featured on PBS NewsHour, Lababidi's short meditations were generously endorsed by President Barack Obama's inaugural poet, Richard Blanco, who wrote:

"Aphorisms are an ancient form, but its current-day master is Yahia Lababidi."

SIGNPOSTS TO ELSEWHERE was selected as a Book of the Year by The Independent (UK) & re-issued by Hay House-publishers of Deepak Chopra & Dr. Wayne Dyer.
