Marking Sacred Time: An interview with poet Eliza Grizwold

Boston Review

In 2012 and 2013, poet and journalist Eliza Griswold traveled to Afghanistan to collect and translate landays, an oral form of poetry popular among Pashtun women, in collaboration with Seamus Murphy, a photographer who has worked in the country for more than thirty years. Griswold’s translations appear alongside Murphy’s photographs in I Am the Beggar of the World: Landays from Contemporary Afghanistan, forthcoming from Farrar, Straus & Giroux.
