4. I've been to one of her readings in the SF Bay.

She's certainly a skilled poet.

5. Poetic precision par excellence. . .

. . .thanking DU for exposing us to truth-telling talent we would never hear as we are surrounded by the sterility of MSM.

Her poetry is as good as that of any Western poet laureate because it's fueled by passion.

I hear you loud and clear Suheir!

Seems like our new President is hearing your Palestinian plea as well. . .course, it'd be nice if you were invited to a White House cultural exchange to recite your poetry. . .

. . .are you listening, Team Obama?
