Dr. Kimberly Blaeser, a Native American poet and professor of creative writing at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee, visited the Kingdom of Bahrain October 4-7, 2010. Dr. Blaeser engaged audiences of young writers, students, and members of the local arts community, reciting her work at the University of Bahrain, Royal University for Women, the American Corner, the House of Poetry and the Bahrain Writers' Association. In addition to reading selections from her three compilations of poetry, she discussed Native American history, literature and tradition, drawing from her own experiences growing up as a member of the White Earth Reservation in northern Minnesota. Dr. Blaeser also announced the winner of a youth poetry contest sponsored by the US Embassy on the theme of Bahraini culture and heritage during an event hosted by the Bahrain Writers' Association. 15 year-old, Noor Salman, was named the winner for her poem "A Pearl Diver's Story," and received a laptop computer as her prize. Several young poets shared their submissions to the contest in an "open-mic" format at the event, and received signed copies of Dr. Blaeser's work.

Poem about Bahrain written and recited by Taher Adel Who Am I? Who are you to break pearls and hide between their oyster homes? Who are you that claims to be king but knows not his people Who are you to scald your name upon my freedom? Who are you that you carve golden memories, moulded upon our backs? Who are you to set me alight and watch while I slowly burn? Who are you to own the letters and words that form my thought? Who are you to have an army at my door step, who am I to reply with a rose? Who am I? Who am I for tears to quench an eye not mine? Who am I with tears cascading off innocent cheeks? Who am I to hide between the sun and your shadow, afraid of both? Who am I to offer my breath when you've left me none to share? Who am I to pray to the skies when I've been deprived of land? Who am I to paint you in white when you've painted me in red? Who Am I to weave questions into words Hoping my voice will sink right in Deep down to your very core Asking you once more Who is the King and who is the slave? Who are you and who Am I?

My friend Mujtaba Barlas's mother, Ms. Riffat Rahi, is a connoisseur of Urdu literature and, specially, classical Urdu poetry. She is the widow of the famous Urdu poet Mustafa Rahi, a soul-devotee and disciple of his eminence Jigar Muradabadi. Upon much insistence of the guests, and to her distinguished grace, she recited this beautiful Ghazal, written by her late husband. The occasion was a dinner hosted recently in her honour at Noor Pathan's residence. Noor Pathan is another lover and great supporter of Urdu literature in Bahrain. I am sharing this video on YouTube with the permission of Ms. Riffat's Bahrain-based son, Mujtaba Barlas. I hope, like me, you will also treasure it as a relic from the fast diminishing literary and cultural traditions.

***LYRICS*** I get shivers when I think about Japan How the earth shook, heart quaked Waking up my pen But, what I wrote wasn't making any sense See my ink came incorrect, started writing from within Lyrics they scrolled across my eyelids Hieroglyphics specific to Egypt situation raced across my iris Moisture built up, tears streamed down Ladies and gentlemen you are witnessing history now No need to testify the revolution televised HD 1080P, media simplified U know, good guys, bad guys Good guys topple over bad, Naw, all lies A different ball game, in libya and Bahrain Your blood is thinner than oil, they'll kill you all mayne Go on try to speak for ur rights Leave slumped to the side, wiki leaking out your life

The Middle East might not be as bad as you think it is. You should go there before you make a judgement. Islam, as a religion, represents more than the Middle East. There are more Muslims that are non-Arab. Arabs only make up a small percentage of the Muslims worldwide. Most Muslims are Asian. I just thought I would write this poem to challenge the way that people think. Don't base your opinion of Islam on a false sensationalized version of the Middle East, which is presented by the media. That is the whole point of the poem.
