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

5.0

So simply written; both the landays, 22-syllable, 2-line poems, and Griswold's explanations of where she collected them and what they refer to in Afghan women's lives. The photographs make it all come alive. A vivid window into women's lives in contemporary Afghanistan. For Episcogeeks out there, Eliza Griswold is PB Frank's daughter, although she's talented and genius enough that she doesn't need a set of famous shoulders to stand on to earn renown for herself.
