The Magic of Radiance

About this book

This poetry collection carries the reader through longing, separation, reproach, broken promises, and memories of days gone by. Mohamed Salah Abu Zeid combines the romance of chaste love poetry with sincere spiritual and patriotic notes and flashes of gentle humor drawn from everyday life. Moving between formal Arabic verse and Egyptian colloquial poetry, the collection offers accessible language and vivid images that reflect the heart's joys and sorrows. The Magic of Radiance is written for readers who seek in poetry an honest mirror of love, memory, hope, and renewal.
