Baghdad Blues, The

The Baghdad Blues presents documentary filmmaker/co-creator of About Baghdad, Sinan Antoon's first poems in English. Antoon's poems--many of them published in Banipal (London) and Across Borders, as well as anthologized--are not quite the thin trails they would appear to be. Antoon's line, although lyrical, is packed with the absence and fury which ought to make us shake a fist at the skies. If it were only the sky's fault.
