"After a youth spent in Baghdad listening to the words of great rock musicians, and an education spanning the world (Damascus, New York City, Montana) Saif is ready to release his first book of poetry. Written primarily in English, with some poems in both Arabic and English, Iraqi Headaches will explore his journey and place in the world

From Saif: "This book is not an attempt to change the world. In fact, it‟ll leave it empty … as it‟s always been."
