"In the current disgrace, amid the din of corporate trolls contending with medieval ogres, of course, the good poet opts for the Fairy Tale. And, of course, the godly idealist chooses the empty dream and desert hells which only the godly know as Paradise.

Fadhil Al-Azzawi has outsped his tormentors and turned their history, thanks be to God, upon its head. He is the Mandelstam of now, with Mayakovsky's panache thrown in for good measure. These poems profess a future without precedent."--Donald Revell "An astonishing collection by an Iraqi master poet who opens up all the despair and tenderness of our times.

Let yourself be invaded and occupied by the words of Fadhil Al-Azzawi. They will resonate with you for many days and nights."--Ariel Dorfman
