Description: This collection supports and promotes awareness to the important mission and framework of the Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here Coalition's focus on the lasting power of the written word and the arts in support of the free expression of ideas, the preservation of shared cultural spaces, and the importance of responding to attacks, both overt and subtle, on artists, writers, and academics working under oppressive regimes or in zones of conflict, despite the destruction of that literary/cultural content.
Notes: "Seven Voyages is inspired by the story of Sinbad the Sailor. The book was created for An Inventory of Al-Mutanabbi Street, a project honoring booksellers and other Iraqi citizens killed in the bombing of Baghdad's Al-Mutanabbi Street on March 5, 2007 ... Illustrations in pen and ink by Michael Pisano, book designed and bound by Maria G. Pisano. An accordion book, printed on Hahnemuhle Gutenberg laid paper with archival inks on an Epson 9800 and bound in a wrapper with envelope flap in an open edition"--Colophon.
