Mozaffar al-Navvāb, a distinguished Iraqi poet and a leading satirist, well-known in the field of social and political critique, has a privilegedstatus in contemporary Iraqi literature. He has experienced a difficult life in theperiod of political instability in Iraq and has later suffered from pressure and exile; he is angry at the inability of Arab authorities to resolve social and political problems especially those related to Palestine; he is also angry at the compromising strategies of authorities as well as the inability of the Arabs to face and tackle their own problems. Mozaffar al-Navvāb expresses his anger over all these issues and the social and political shortcomings in a harshand naked language and criticizes the agents of the deplorable conditions of the Arabs; his mastery over vernacular language and his fluent Arabic has attracted a wider audience for his message.
