Miracle
Maker is the first full-length collection of poetry in English
from this major contemporary Iraqi poet. This book features
a healthy selection of poems from Al-Azzawi's six previous Arabic
collections and a number of new poems. Springing from his
entrenched readings of classical Arabic poetry, his poems speak
to political exile, cultural marginalization, and Middle Eastern
and Western histories and mythologies. Al-Azzawi employs
humor, melancholy and tenderness to celebrate new worlds of possibility.
The
Life and Times of the Dragon
The
dragon is sleeping on his stone.
He
is dreaming of his children.
His
teeth are dripping with blood.
It's
from the wound he gave to the hunter.
His
eyes are staring at the night sky.
He
is stealing the light of the stars.
His
growls can be heard for generations.
It's
the death of his terrified victims.
The
dragon
is
dying.
