  <about><![CDATA[[A] Lebanese-American poet, essayist, and visual artist.

In 2003 MELUS, the journal of the Society for the Study of the Multi-Ethnic Literature of the United States, called Adnan &quot;arguably the most celebrated and accomplished Arab American author writing today.&quot;

She has said, &quot;As for any serious writer, the audience of an Arab–American cannot be confined to his or her fellow Arabs. Books have a life of their own and no one can determine their fate. The only thing we can strive for consciously is to be aware of the existence of a growing body of Arab–American literature, try to know it and make it known.&quot;
