You are stronger than the wound:
They are texts in the colloquial language
The book is about love and a little bit of longing
And disappointment and brokenness.
My beloved fashion
This collection includes a collection of sentimental poems that translate and embody reality, feelings, and events that I lived and were influenced by, so I recorded them in poetry. As for “The Secret of Love,” the name of the main poem of this collection, it is an emotional human experience that I was affected by and in which I shared with other people.. The Secret of Love is a title. It exudes rich connotations, as love remains the secret of hearts. Its sources are pure and pure humanity, and its meanings are higher than all calculations.
The secret of love is its emphasis on the human dimension of emotional relationships with great connotations. The collection tried to translate it with its poems through the images, ideas, and vocabulary it included.
If these poems are able to further build bridges of love or spread some of the sweetness of their meanings, then they have reached their destination and achieved success.
Before concluding my speech, I extend my heartfelt thanks to my honorable brother and friend, the poet Rashid Sharar, for his valuable introduction and review of the collection. And God is the Grantor of success.

A journey in aromas
What I chose was based on a combination of personal taste and conviction - which sought to be objective as much as possible - that these examples are worthy of introducing the wide reader to Adwan’s poetic personality. What also requires clarification is that the selection of poems over others was subject to a specific technical factor: that is, the replacement of long poems in favor of medium or short ones, in order to make room for the largest possible number of texts expressing the experience, and in a way that is proportionate to the proposed size of the selections.
Hopefully, these selections will succeed in recalling a lofty poetic stature, represented by “the free son of life,” “the one who exalts himself upon condescension,” bending “with the discipline of a soldier before a spike,” looking “sad and angry, at the perforated shoes of the poor,” biased “to her path filled with the dust of honor.” "; As Mahmoud Darwish expressed in his eulogy for Adwan.
