From the Heart: A Journey of Love

FROM THE HEART - A JOURNEY OF LOVE is a collection of 56 poems, 14 haikus and various sayings by Jordanian-American author and Huffington Post Passionista, Hadel S. Ma'ayeh. Described as haunting and timeless, innovative and jazzy, exquisitely balanced, with the ability to invade one's soul, Ma'ayeh's poetic voice paints an extraordinarily realistic picture of life in our postmodern age. The sensory words and emotions she uses effectively transport the reader to the settings described. The composition of the poems is sufficiently complex to provoke the reader into filling the blanks with their imagination, while being left wanting more.
