Abstract

The paper makes a postcolonial ecocritical comparison between Brian Turner's and Dunya Mikhail's books,Here, Bullet, Phantom Noise, The Iraqi Nights, A Diary of a Wave outside the Sea, In Her feminine Sign and The War Works Hard, after the 2003 American War in Iraq. Their works emphasize the linkage between the ecological decay and the social decadence of the Iraqi society. Both Turner and Mikhail confirm the interrelatedness between the ecological destruction and the eradication of Iraqis' culture and identity. They present the truthful images of the imperial actions that have led to the environmental deterioration in Iraq in many of their poems, such as "Caravan," "The Hurt Locker," "The Mutanabii Street Bombing," "Kirkuk Oilfield, 1927," "The Baghdad Zoo," "The War Works Hard," "Innana," "America," "An Urgent Call" and many others.
