In Gliding, Huda Almubarak’s poetry moves between memory and longing, presence and absence. With quiet intensity, she explores love, loss, and selfhood, capturing the weight of time in luminous, unflinching verse.

As a Saudi woman poet, Almubarak joins a new wave of Arab voices redefining poetry, weaving resilience and vulnerability into every line. 

Her work speaks to the spaces between freedom and constraint, tradition and change, offering a rare glimpse into the complexities of a shifting world.

These poems linger like whispered confessions in the dark, like footprints on shifting sand, fading yet never truly gone.
