Blog Overview

This blog is dedicated to one of the many books my grandfather has written. I have created this blog in order to publicize my grandfathers meaningful poems and to share a piece of Baghdad's past. This book is not only filled with wonderful poems that explain the culture and express the beauty of Baghdad, where my grandfather used to teach, but they capture the history of the town. Many of Baghdad's beautiful monuments have been destroyed due to the warfare that has occurred within it's beautiful landscape. This book provides readers with a historical vision through poetic tales of the past.
