[JennifuhLeathuh]

Suheir Hammad is beauty, talent, strength, and truth undisputed.

[JW2K3]

i wanna marry her...

[MrSuper2007]

THIS IS WHAT PALESTINIANS ARE ABOUT NOT THE KILLING NOT THE SUICIDE BOMBERS ,NOT THE WAR WE WANT TO LIVE AND LIVE FOR OUR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

[saharabeauty1]

nice :)

[midgysamurai15]

There is a rhythm in this woman. God bless her.

[poopyscoopy5]

What a steaming pile of bullshit

[vapid1000]

She has some really good poetry. But I think she is more of a writer of prose than a poet. Most of her poetry sounds like she is writing a book of prose rather than poetry.

[tofetus]

much respect to this woman. amazing poetess. and gorgeous!

i find it funny that the narrator guy referred to russel simmons as a godfather of hiphop though.....

[thecharredremain]

"When does a man let go of his wifes hand...to hang on to his child..." omg.

[jay19xxx]

@thecharredremain Beat your woman at least once a day even if you don't know why; she will always know why.

[MrsFreeloveGoodcutt]

@jay19xxx I wish someone would beat your ignorant ass once a day and I'm sure you'll know why. Idiot.

[jay19xxx]

@MrsFreeloveGoodcutt your ignorant cunt gets it first, then we can talk about how your tongue can beat my anus

[MrsFreeloveGoodcutt]

@jay19xxx You know, I'd go on and on with the insults if I wasn't bored with your stupidity already. *yawn*

[vyxtouch]

@MrsFreeloveGoodcutt hahaha. nice come back.

[thecharredremain]

wow. that entire interview just blew me away. She is simply amazing, I love listening to her - poem or interview!

[CallMeCharlie11]

She just got a new fan! I've never heard her before today, but I love her work! She is right about FEMA! I experienced that same issue with FEMA...

[thecharredremain]

Omg look her up on Youtube, her Def Poetry Jams are absolutely amazing.

[CallMeCharlie11]

@thecharredremain Oh please believe I have, lol.... I love it! Thank you though...

[SgtDevilDog33]

Suheir Hammad much love and respect from Cali. Love ya much and keep up the great work you do so well.

[stephluvsmac]

"i dont swim, i swam" this woman is an amazing example of the strong intellectual arab woman, i got teary listening to her poems.

[good4nuthing]

"those who can afford to run will run but what about those who can they will have to stay" -Buju Banton- i luv dat she quoted that she HAS to be married a woman like that u can't let run around single.

[jsaintil]

haha i know.

[specialjr11]

wow...I love this womans soul. She is the epitome of womanhood, courage, and pride. Palestinian people must be proud of her.

[poetiktearz]

yep, we sure are!

[123joshyy]

Just having a conversation with her is like listening to poetry.

[IfYaGirlOnlyKnew]

She's brilliant.

[bkballer2008]

Shes amazing

[loprofilefl]

I have been lucky enough to work alongside Suheir @ the UFP&J / A.N.S.W.E.R. antiwar/Katrina demonstration on the White House lawn in September 2005. She moved us all then and continues to as always. A most honorable visionary.

[vivlingdarling]

She is my hero!

[ADVILX]

I just love this woman! This is beauty on all levels!

[sufease]

why did they

destroy

bamiyan?

[TheScaryRed]

you and others are still hung up by rocks; Did people care that afghanistan then ans still is now one of the poorest country in the world? Are we really humanist, liberal? when we care about carved rock more than suffering people? If you say that you do not care, then the debate ends, and the Taliban's actions were justified; they, in their own ignorance, managed to expose your hypocrisy.

[sam7748]

You could just as easily ask the question why "they" destroyed the historic Babri Masjid (Mosque) in India....100s were killed in the ensuing violence.

All extremists do stupid things...it's not confined to a particular religion.

[snufkindarling]

I have so much respect and admiration for this woman as an activist and as a poet. this is a wonderful interview.

[cecemisch]

Does anyone know how to reach her management or better still, her? We'd like to book her at our university...

[Karynne27]

I wish I could help. Suheir is one of the most amazing people I have ever had the good fortune to know. I met her my first year in college and have seen her several times since. She is an inspiration and I hope to see her again soon.

[cecemisch]

I appreciate your response... I finally found her and she responded.

[NK421]

What does she mean "if she veiled she would be in a different situations?

[aelbadri]

if I may say , She is quite philosophical in her answer.

she basically says she does not wear the head cover and she does not have an accent which helped her to have a platform that some other didnt.

I wil be seeing her on Monday here in Montreal, Canada

[osirusNY]

stop hating dude -- how many books have you written w/ that perfect english of yours?

[oceanbound222]

She is totally AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!

[davidinfo13]

Ya she's pretty cool

[fluoridemakesudumb]

she is gorgeous, beautiful features but does she have anorexia? so thin.

[samdonuge]

would you ask if she had anorexia to her in person? if not, why write that on the web? having anonymity doesn't mean you still shouldn't have respect.

[fluoridemakesudumb]

of course i would not ask her in person unless i knew her but it would still stimulate curiosity in people and her relatives/coworkers surely must speak about it in private.

and i never meant disrespect.
