In her poetry collection, "That Is the Distance," Israa Al-Nimr expresses her relationship with life, death, and everything in between, and describes the feelings that were imprinted on her poetic soul, as a result of rejection and helplessness, loneliness and emptiness, fear, and lightness caused by pain, and she finds nothing but illusion as a way to continue, as she says: "Sometimes I need illusion in order to live." She also reveals, through various poems, the familial and emotional relationships that left scars on her conscience and reaped nothing but pain.
