posted on: Oct 10, 2014

Jordanian-American author and Huffington Post Passionista, Hadel S. Ma’ayeh is entrancing readers with her new book FROM THE HEART – A JOURNEY OF LOVE. Set to be released to the general public on October 16, 2014, From the Heart is a collection of 56 poems, 14 haikus and various sayings which has been receiving rave early reviews. It is published for the first time by Hope and Life Press.

Described as haunting and timeless, innovative and jazzy, exquisitely balanced, with the ability to invade one’s soul, Ma’ayeh’s poetic voice in From the Heart – A Journey of Love 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.
