A poem by an Iraqi exile that was published with only 1000 copies has become famous in Iraq. “Brother Yasin and Brother Yasin Again became part of the body of work that has come to represent the secret, silent fight against Saddam Hussein’s regime. It is one of the most important poems exploring, in a revolutionary way, the link between man’s ethereal, spiritual nature and his everyday, habitual life. It expresses simple sentiments while yielding something new with each reading. The Iraqis, who love tragedy, find themselves drawn to this.”
