From the supplier: Iraqi poet Sa'di Yusuf's works reveal his fascination and hopes for the condition of vernacular and folkloric poetry. He is very much interested in things that are simple and beautiful to the ears. His main accomplishment lies in his formulation of a hybrid poetic form that infuses the traditional Arabic poetic forms into a mixture of the Iraqi southern vernacular, folklore and popular songs.
