Personal Statement:
I am an Egyptian poet and writer who has translated some of my modern poems from their original Arabic into English, and I would love to have my writings published in an English book. My first book of Arabic poetry is called "Untraditional Woman", and the second is "First Seasons Of Love."

Current Work

I have started writing new poems in English hoping to reach English-speaking audiences. Please click on the "Reviews" button below to see samples of my poetry.
