SUMMARY
Revolutionary poetry by an exiled Iraqi woman. Winner of a 2004 PEN Translation Fund Award."Yesterday I lost a country," Dunya Mikhail writes in The War Works Hard, a revolutionary work by an exiled Iraqi poet-her first to appear in English. Amidst the ongoing atrocities in Iraq, here is an important new voice that rescues the human spirit from the ruins, unmasking the official glorification of war with telegraphic lexical austerity. Embracing literary traditions from ancient Mesopotamian mythology to Biblical and Qur'anic parables to Western modernism, Mikhail's poetic vision transcends cultural and linguistic boundaries with liberating compassion.Mikhail, Dunya is the author of 'War Works Hard ' with ISBN 9780811216210 and ISBN 0811216217.
