People say ?a picture is worth a thousand words, ? but what if those words were able to capture your mind, heart, and soul and take you through a journey of discovering your own wonderland, a journey through which you?ll revisit those cracks and crevices of your heart, a journey that will entice all of your senses as you feel, smell and taste the world our author has created? What if I told you that her poems are pictures, as every word conveys vibrant imagery and every poem is indeed a sculpture to be marveled and admired? I had the great pleasure to be the editor of my sister in spirit, someone who was able to so eloquently express what so many of us go through. Going through her words, line after line, drew me into her world and made it a permanent part of who I am. To every reader venturing into this book, be ready to live and breathe her words and come out of it with a friend for life. Afnan Linjawi
