Adnan Al-Sayegh Livres

'Let Me Tell You What I Saw' is the first ever publication as a dual-language (English/ Arabic) text of substantial extracts from Adnan al-Sayegh's ground-breaking epic poem, 'Uruk's Anthem', one of the longest poems ever written in Arabic literature (550 pages) which gives voice to the profound despair of the Iraqi experience.

A politically charged, hard-hitting and thought-provoking collection by one of Iraq's best-known poets, Adnan al-Sayegh. Throughout this collection, Adnan explores the exhausting struggle for acceptance after being forced into exile. Seemingly innocent and lyrical at first, yet infused with darker undercurrents and nightmarish imagery.
