Central Province, Saudi Arabia Oct 24, 2018 (Issuewire.com) - Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Poet, artist, and writer, Zohour Almandil, brings to light the inner longings and unspoken hopes of the often restricted faction of her native land. Her debut book entitled Confession, digs deep into the complexities of restrained passion. The author’s collection of 79 poems speak in volumes “the sorrows of her soul” and give readers a roadmap, a way to navigate the “labyrinth of her alienation and estrangement.”
Translator Eyhab A. Bader Eddin, given the “garangutan” task of capturing the poet’s delicate writing and accurately rendering it in English, confirms that her volume of verses “brings to contemporary poetics an acute, agile intelligence, revealed in a dazzling array of linguistic orders.” He adds that the poet’s inquiry into the nature of spirit encompasses her ability to interlock knowledge from various perspectives, breaking away from the traditions of what is widely accepted as a masculine-dominated medium of expression in her nation.
The conservative ways of Arabic nations in the Middle East have long subjected women to different forms of limitations. The poet’s native land, Saudi Arabia, is known globally as the most gender-segregated nation in the world. However, with gradual changes now underway, women are slowly given opportunities to be active participants in their society. Almandil is paving the way for more female writers to brave the untrodden path, create their own,and embrace the paradoxical touches of realities with finespun creative expressions.
