Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here
On March 5th, 2007, more than 30 people were killed when a car bomb was exploded on Mutanabbi Street, an old and established street for bookselling in the heart of Baghdad's literary and intellectual community. To protest the bombing, the Mutanabbi Street Coalition, a group started by San Francisco poet and bookseller Beau Beausoleil, organized readings and invited letterpress printers to produce artists books by Iraqi poets and writers. Moving Parts Press contributed "An Excerpt from Five Hymns to Pain" by Nazik al-Malaika.
