The Jumping of the Braids Reem Hisham Hijjawi

The book consists of thirty-four poems. It talks about love in many different facets. It talks about love for God, nature, between men and women, people, love to improve life . . . and so forth. Light pleasance can be felt when reading some poems, while other poems can be haunting and disturbing. In general, the book talks about universal issues that touch all humans in general. It talks about the human weakness in adhering to God's commands, when adversity debilitates confidence and causes commotion in the heart and soul. This book combines the East and the West. It is not always that people see life from the same perspective when it is written by a woman who is originally an Arab but absorbed and lived the western way and adopted it.
