On March 5th 2007, a car bomb exploded on Mutanabbi Street in Baghdad, the historic center of Baghdad bookselling, a winding street filled with bookstores and outdoor book stalls. 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. You can find out how to volunteer or submit a broadside here. There is a reading at the San Francisco Center for the Book on Sept 28. The broadsides will be displayed at the book center from Oct 19 – Nov 12.
