Nimah Nawwab
Saudi poet Nimah Ismail Nawwab will be featured at events in the Bay Area from July 31 through August 4, 2005 under the sponsorship of ZAWAYA, a local Arab-American cultural organization. She will read from her 2004 collection of poems, The Unfurling.
Unusual for an Arab poet, Nawwab writes by preference in English. Her work, known for its spare language, keen intellect and soaring spirit, is described as a bridge between East and West. Mohja Kahf, also a poet, says that Nimah Nawwab expresses a highly individualized consciousness that is both Arab and cosmopolitan, both Islamic and humanist.
The events schedules to date are as follows:
- Sunday, July 31, 4-6 p.m., 1167 Nikulina Court in San Jose. Dr. Marwan and Mrs. Nahda Balaa will host a cultural afternoon in their home and garden. The afternoon will feature poetry reading and a book signing by Nimah Nawwab, as well as live Andalusian music, sale of original Yemeni paintings, and refreshment. Donation $5.00. Phone 408 203 0596.
- Thursday August 4, 7:30-9:30 p.m., 2 Plaza Avenue, San Francisco. The Arab Cultural Center will host an evening including Nawwab’s poetry reading, Andalusian music, refreshments and sale of Robert’s prints of Lebanon and Palestine. For information, call 415 664 2200.
