Brenda J. Gannam


Brenda J. Gannam, Arab-American poet, artist, writer, and spiritual advisor has been a member of the New York creative community for more than 20 years. As a student of French, Arabic, Russian, and German, Brenda has been influenced by the metaphysical, spiritual, and symbolist aspects of such poets as Akhmatova, Szymborska, Verlaine, Rimbaud, Rilke, Peguy, Gibran, Rumi, Al Khoury, Masefield, McCrae, Pushkin, and Pasternak. Brenda’s work often reveals powerful spiritual messages embedded in everyday phenomena – as well as underlying metaphysical and Jungian themes.
