Al saab Bodeer was the son of a date farmer. He was born in 1926 in Jaykour, Iraq. When he was six years old his mother, Karima, died during the birth of what would have been her fourth child. Some cite this event as a major influence on his heartfelt poetry later in his life. ).

After his mother’s death he went to live with his grandparents. It was at this time that he began school in the neighboring villages close to Jaykour. In his early years he was exposed to the realities of class differences. This period of his life can be seen as a source of inspiration for a lot of his early “Marxist” poetry. In 1938 he began secondary school. He wrote most of his early poetry in traditional Arabic verse, but it was not released to the Arab public until after his death.

It was in the early to mid 1940’s that he became increasingly politically minded and aligned himself with the Communist party. In 1946 at age 20, along with the help of Nazalmalka (Female Iraqi poet), bodeer launched the Arab Free Verse Movement. Prior to this movement Arab verse was written in primarily one form, the traditional. Pioneering the Free Verse Movement was remarkable in that it gave Arabic verse a new outlet of expression. The poems that he produced during this time reflected his concern for his nation’s evolution into modernity.

In 1948 he graduated from Baghdad college and published his first book of poems titled Withered Flowers. He was briefly employed as a secondary-school English teacher. In 1949 he was imprisoned, because of his communist alignment, when a new government took control. Afterwards, he was banned from teaching for the next ten years. During this period he took many odd jobs including free-lance journalist, employee at the Ministry of Imports, and date taste tester. Meanwhile, he remained very politically involved and produced a good amount of poetry in his early to mid-twenties.

Due to political changes in Baghdad, he moved to Kuwait in the early 1950’s. Within six months he returned to Baghdad also due to political circumstances. In 1955, he married and had a daughter, Ghaidaa, the next year.Then he began working as a translator for very little money. In 1960 he published his third book of poetry, which included Rainsong. Due to illness he moved to Basra in hope of living out the rest of his life quietly. He was struck by a degenerative nervous disorder and he died in Kuwait at the age of 38.
