Raise the sail high, my friend... The book includes 64 letters exchanged between the poets Zaher Al-Jizani and Khazal Al-Majidi. The letters talk about the establishment of the seventies poetic generation in Iraq, and the poets' journey up to this day. They reveal many facts about that period and the poetic achievement of this important poetic generation in Iraq, and the paradoxes of poetry, politics, and war in a country that experienced difficult political and cultural turmoil in the last quarter of the twentieth century.
