The Days and Years Passed

About this book

Mohamed Awwad Ali Al-Awwad looks back on childhood, open neighbours' doors, Ramadan gatherings, first love, and relationships that remain vivid after thirty years. Against those memories he sets a present marked by materialism, betrayal, and bonds that weaken when fortune does. The poems combine nostalgia with social criticism, yet preserve a space for hope in the conviction that sincere love and the memory of good people can restore youth to the heart.
