Thank you nimal for this tribute. I am overwhelmed. My absence from this web was due to personal reasons because nobody silences poets in Syria. I have published six books here. I lived in Scotland and Australia but it is only in Syria that I experienced the sense of freedom and unbridled expression. Do not believe what the advocates of democracy say on the news. Look at my new poem The Assyrian which I posted today. Thanks again and best wishes.

If words alone could change the world, then your poems should be tossed to the winds and allowed to land and grow for all eternity. A stunning tribute to a beautiful poet from a beautiful poet. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

A fine tribute to a most gracious and talented poetess. My compliments to both of you. Warmest regards, Sandra
