About the book: The first Anthology of its kind in the West, Iraqi Poetry Today gathers work from 40 living or recently-deceased writers, with Arab, Jewish, and Kurdish voices. For two decades, since the Iraq-Iran was in 1980, Iraq has been the focus of numerous political, economic, sociological, military, and geopolitical studies. However, very little has been published on the Iraqi literary tradition. Modern Iraq has produced a highly complex literature of survival in response to various realities of oppression and to challenges of modernism.
