Breaking Free

By Nora Boustany, Page A16
Her poetry is her fuel.
It has carried her across boundaries assumed non-traversable: book
signings and readings in mixed company at home in Saudi Arabia and
abroad; the first publication in the United States of a collection of
poems by a Saudi woman; uncontested exposure in the Saudi and American
media.
Nimah Ismail Nawwab's entry into the public domain is a milestone of
sorts, perhaps the gentle tipping of an hourglass that Saudi women have
awaited for centuries. Her book of poems, "The Unfurling," published in
the United States in December 2004, is not only an outlet for political
frustrations in the desert kingdom but also is filled with a yearning
to break free.
