On March 5th, 2007, more than 30 people were killed when a car bomb was exploded on Mutanabbi Street, an old and established street for bookselling in the heart of Baghdad's literary and intellectual community. To protest the bombing, the Mutanabbi Street Coalition, a group started by San Francisco poet and bookseller Beau Beausoleil, is organizing two readings and has invited letterpress printers to produce broadsides, which are on exhibition at the Center October 19--November 21.

For more information on the Mutanabbi Street Coalition see their website.
