Author Description

Through colorfully poignant imagery, Andrawis and Ezzat remove the layers of defense we so often construct against our own hearts. Here, readers experience the grief and sorrow love brings as well as its joys. They come face to face with its vulnerabilities and its fears, its torment and its regrets as well as its exhilaration and inspiration. In Return Your Heart and Other Poems, as in life, sons grieve for their fathers, mothers long for their sons, and lovers alternately cling to and push each other away.
