I Am the Beggar of the World: Landays from Contemporary Afghanistan by Eliza Griswold

4.0

These poems, and the stories behind them are a powerful reminder of the wit and energy of afghan women, whose position in society is marginalised, almost literally out of sight, behind the veil. It's a very short book, but each pair of lines packs a punch and the pictures are strong too.
