description: "Ma'ruf bin Abdul Ghani al-Rusafi was an Iraqi poet, educationist and literary scholar. A political skeptic, al-Rusafi is regarded as a humanist, a social justice poet, and one of Iraq's national poets. However, he is considered by many as a controversial figure in modern Iraqi literature due to his advocacy of freedom and opposition to imperialism. Because of this, he is known as the poet of freedom, and as one of the big three neo-classical poets of Iraq, alongside al-Jawahiri, and al-Zahawi."
