“In spare, vivid, and poundingly heartfelt language, [al-Jubouri] shows us her country before the occupation by U.S. troops and afterward . . . these poems have a timeless, haunting quality, and they offer not just enormous pleasure but understanding.” —<em>Library Journal</em>, starred review ”In a series of before-and-after poems, Amal al-Jubouri describes the changes in day-to-day action and mood in Baghdad and greater Iraq after the invasion by American forces and the fall of the Ba’ath Party in 2003. And she does this with much honesty and grace.” —<em>New Pages</em> ”. . .al-Jubouri’s blistering book of poetry, <em>Hagar Before The Occupation | Hagar After The Occupation</em> . . . nominated for a 2012 Best Translated Book of the Year award in the US, shows us both how difficult and how vital it is to create poetry in disaster. ” —<em>Mint</em>
