Behind the Heart's Walls

About this book

(Behind the heart's walls.. a journey into the soul's depth.) Have you ever wondered what happens when the soul overflows with what ordinary words cannot carry? Behind those silent walls we build around our hearts, live untold tales, stifled screams, and dreams born of contemplation's womb. In this new work, poet Dr. Eman Mohamed takes us on an emotional journey transcending ink-on-paper's bounds, touching those gray zones between joy and pain, and between memory and oblivion. Between this book's covers, you will find a unique human pulse; at times the poems take you to Jerusalem's alleys and free people's screams in Palestine, igniting in your soul the ember of belonging, at other times they plunge you into transparent emotional experiences, where passion is like "the elixir of life" and separation a wound tearing the conscience. The style progresses masterfully between a measured classical register befitting grief's and majesty's occasion, and a warm Egyptian vernacular mimicking reality's bitterness, "the wretched's" concerns, and "the country girl's" authenticity. It is no mere poetry collection, but a mirror reflecting our fractures and small victories. It is an invitation to storm those walls, not to beg pain, but to light a candle in the road's darkness. If you seek a text that reads you before you read it, and explains to you "the word's tribulation" when your tongue fails to confess, then "Behind the Heart's Walls" is your next companion to reclaim lost souls' warmth in this material age's crowd.
