Poetry in Afghanistan

from Citizen Reporter · host Mark Fonseca Rendeiro

You don't often hear from poets in Afghanistan, but beyond all the politics and violence that gets all the press, they've been there all along, writing, reciting, performing... My guest is Wida Sharifi, a poet and writer based here in Herat. She joins me to tell me about how she got her start in poetry and how the world of poetry works in Afghanistan. We also get into literacy, television, work, and more.
