Iqbal Tamimi returns to the Spotlight with a poem she wrote after meeting Mariane Pearl, the author of A Mighty Heart who lost her husband, journalist and reporter Daniel Pearl when he was kidnapped and murdered by terrorists in Pakistan.
The First Person
for Mariane Pearl
by Iqbal Tamimi
Freedom is a wild child
Cresting pandemonium,
Looting opportunities.

by Iqbal Tamimi

blocking the sun,
releasing my paralysis.
