Overview: شعرهایی که در این کتاب می‌خوانید گزیده‌ای‌ست از کتاب شعرِ عراقِ معاصر که در آمریکا توسط دانشگاه میشیگان به چاپ رسیده است و می‌توان آن را آینه‌ای دانست برای به نمایش گذاشتن وجدان زخمی اهل قلم آمریکا. حدود هفت سالِ پیش به محض آگاهی از عزم راسخ دولتمردان آمریکایی برای حمله به‌ عراق به‌ بهانه‌‌ی کشف سلاح‌های کشتار دسته‌جمعی و دستگیری حاکم جابر آن خطه یعنی صدام حسین، اهل قلم آمریکا نهایت تلاش خود را برای جلوگیری از این تجاوز نظامی به‌کار بست و با برپایی تظاهرات، راه‌اندازی سایت شعر ضد جنگ و بسیاری فعالیت‌های دیگر کوشید سیاستمداران آمریکایی را به آبروداری وادارد که البته ناکام ماند و مجسمه‌‌ی آزادی ته‌مانده‌‌ی حیثیت خود را از دست داد. علت این ناکامی پیروی از همان روش رابرت بلای Robert Bly رهبر شاعران آمریکایی در زمان جنگ ویتنام برای رسوا کردن دولتمردان آمریکایی بود بی در نظرگرفتن شرایط جدید زمانی و مکانی و غفلت از حادثه‌‌ی 11 سپتامبر و نیاز به ابداع شیوه‌ای جدید، ورای برپایی شب شعر و صدور اعلامیه‌های روشنفکرانه. این شد که پس از اشغال عراق توسط نظامیان آمریکایی تنها کاری که از اهل قلم آمریکا برآمد، نشان دادن وِجهه‌‌ی فرهنگی ملت عراق و روشن کردن اذهانِ عوام در امریکا بود تا باور کنند که ملتِ مورد غارت و تجاوز واقع شده تروریست نیست! نشریات معتبر آمریکایی شروع کردند به چاپ ترجمه‌‌ی اشعار عراقی وگالری‌داران هم شروع کردند به برپایی نمایشگاه‌های نقاشی عراقی‌های مهاجر.پرفسور اسما بارلاس Asma Barlas پاکستانی‌الاصل، استاد دانشگاه نیویورک در رشته‌‌ی سیاست که به یکی از این نمایشگاه‌ها دعوت شده بود با خواندن کاتولوگِ افتتاحیه که در آن ادعا کرده بودند دیدن نقاشی‌های عراقی‌ها و فلسطینی‌ها، باور کردن روح انسانی ملت‌های مسلمان را برای مخاطب غربی امکان‌پذیر می‌کند، ضمن امتناع از حضور در مراسم افتتاحیه با ارسال نامه‌ای سرگشاده به روزنامه‌های آمریکایی، معرفی شعر و نقاشی عراقی‌ها و فلسطینی‌ها را به نیت اثباتِ «آدم بودن» آن‌ها به سخره گرفت و ساده و صریح خاطرنشان کرد: «بی‌آشنایی با هنر و ادبیات عراق و فلسطین هم می‌شود باور کرد که آن‌ها انسان‌اند. من فقط در انسانیت کسانی شک دارم که به بهانه‌های واهی به کشورها حمله می‌کنند و زندان‌های مخوفی چون زندان گوانتاناما می‌سازند و غصب سرزمین‌ها را حق تاریخی خود می‌دانند.» البته عراقی‌ها از این که اشعارشان توسط بهترین ناشران آمریکائی به چاپ رسیده و در رده‌‌ی پرفروش‌ترین کتاب‌های شعر آمریکا قرار گرفته خوشحالند؛ تا آن جا که اجازه داده‌اند نظر ملک‌الشعرای آمریکا بیلی کالینز درباره‌‌ی گلچین شعر عراق مبنی بر تأئید اصالت و انسانیت اعراب روی جلد کتاب چاپ شود.شعر‌ها اما به راستی خارق العاده‌اند. بسیار پرشور و پر قدرت، تا آن جا که ضدسیاسی‌ترین خوانندگان شعر را وامی‌دارند به این اعتراف که: «پس شعر می‌تواند سیاسی باشد و از عاشقانه‌ترین غزل‌ها هم پرشورتر و ناب‌تر باشد». شاعران عراقی در این اشعار وجدان فریب‌ناپذیر و شعور سرشارخود را نشان می‌دهند. آن‌ها به هیچ بهانه‌‌ای با استبداد، جنگ، کشت و کشتار و بت‌سازی از چهره‌های سیاسی و مذهبی همسویی نمی‌کنند. و از این جهت بسیار فراتر می‌روند از نمونه‌های بسیار خوب شعر جنگ جهانی اول و دوم. اشعاری که معصومانه به شعر مقاومت تبدیل می‌شوند تا از دل تنگ خود برای عشق، صلح و آزادی سخن بگویند.
