Tales of the Heart

About this book

Mona Gamal Al-Husseini shapes the most delicate turns of human feeling into a collection of classical and lyrical poems. The verse moves through longing and reunion, abandonment and disappointment, pride and hope, before opening into prayer and reflection on life and existence. Its formal poise is balanced by a warm emotional voice, allowing readers who have known love, distance or spiritual searching to recognize something of their own experience in these pages.
