Shoman Poetry Honors Sura Team
Saudi poet Maha Al-Otaibi said that Arabic poetry is undergoing a period of transformation, not decline, as the ways it is circulated and received change. She noted that a poem’s impact is measured by its depth, not by the number of people who read it, and that poetry remains capable of awakening awareness and expressing human values. She made the remarks at an evening event organized by the Nahr al-Yarmouk Association for Cultural Development in cooperation with the Abdul Hameed Shoman Foundation, at the foundation’s library in Jabal Amman. The event explored her poetic journey, literary criticism, women’s presence in poetry, and the influence of digital platforms. Al-Otaibi read poems about love, longing, and women, and spoke about winning the Sharjah Award for Gulf Women’s Creativity twice. She and several other participants were honored at the end of the evening.
