Michigan State University Press unveils Flowers of Flame: Unheard Voices of Iraq this October, a collection of stories written by Iraqi citizens since the American invasion of 2003. The book was compiled by “two courageous Iraqi poets and translators,” Sadek Mohammed and Soheil Najim, who wished to bring the voices of the Iraqi people to America in this collection. The collection has been endorsed by Brian Turner and Billy Collins, former Poet Laureate of the United Sates.
