"On March 5th, 2007 a car bomb was exploded on al-Mutanabbi Street, the ancient street of booksellers, poets and writers, located at the literary and cultural heart of Baghdad, Iraq. The attack killed 30 people and injured scores more."--Page [1].
"This book comes out of the historical idea that to destroy a people, the conquerors first destroy their books, and from imagining the experience of that horrible day. It is also a tribute to the resilience of words and our sisters and brothers who write, speak, and carry these words through the fire. This book is made in the spirit of peace."--Email from artist, dated Oct. 8, 2013.
