In an effort to not only memorialize the people lost on the March 2007
bombing of Al-
Mutanabbi Street, Baghdad's bookselling and literary center, but restore
the "memory and
future" of ideas of books, Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here will gather
Boston area writers,
booksellers, book artists, printers, and poets for a celebration in
honor of Iraq's storied Al-
Mutanabbi Street bookstores.
Join Back Pages Books in support of the Al-Mutanabbi Street Project, a
forthcoming
collaboration of book artists worldwide in celebration of Baghdad's
once-vibrant intellectual-
hub.
