Iraqi poet Salah Al Hamdani has lived a remarkable life. The author
of some forty books in French and Arabic, he began life as a child
laborer, with little or no education. As a political prisoner under
Saddam Hussein, he learned to read and write Arabic; once he was
released form prison, he continued to work against the regime,
ultimately, at age twenty-one, choosing exile in Paris. He now
writes in French, but he remains a poet of exile, of memory,
wounded by the loss of his homeland and those dear to him. This
landmark collection gathers thirty-five years of his writings, from
his first volume in Arabic, Memory of Embers, to his latest
collection, written originally in French, For You I Dream. It
offers English-language readers their first substantial overview of
Al Hamdani's work, fired by the fight against injustice and shot
through with longing for the home to which he can never return.
