Abdulrazzaq Abdulwahid was an award-winning Iraqi poet who enjoyed worldwide recognition and translation into a number of languages. Abdulwahid Lu'Lu'A has lovingly compiled and translated this collection, Modern Iraqi Poetry: A Poet for All Seasons, where the poet espouses a great love of his Iraqi homeland, weaving in vivid imagery from the cradle of civilisation with a fierce interest in politics and pain at his country's recent turbulent history. He also turns his attention to love, writing in a delicate style, attractive to sensitive souls.
