# Poetry from Afghanistan: A Conversation with Lina Rozbih

Join us for a poetry reading and conversation with Lina Rozbih, an Afghan-born novelist, poet, and journalist. As an acclaimed and award-winning writer, Rozbih’s work addresses contemporary life and issues of human suffering. Her poignant writings capture the tragic experiences of the Afghan people, with a particular focus on the struggles faced by women and girls. The program will focus on a selection of Lina’s poems reflecting on spirituality and Afghan culture, which is influenced by religion, infused with varied customs, and inspired by multiple traditions as it sits at the “heart of Asia.” This program is made possible through the generous support of the Lilly Endowment, Inc.
