American Poetry Performance

A handful of Muslim readers of this website have recommended this poem read aloud by American poetess Suheir Hammad, a Brooklyn native. Ms. Hammad, whose two brothers serve in the American Navy, talks about 9/11 and the way it affected her as an American and as a Muslim.

It's poignant, it's heartrending. Don't take my word for it. Watch the video yourself:
