Our Village
by Mojib Rahman Atal
Our Village is a window to see Afghanistan through the eyes of its poets and photographers. This is not only a book, but a catalog of photos exposing the beauty of rural Afghanistan.
It is an anthology in which each poem reveals inequalities, imbroglios, pride, sympathy, nostalgia, and missing peace and stability in war-torn Afghanistan.
Already vastly popular in Afghanistan and surrounding areas, copies of Our Village have been requested to be mass produced.
