Nurenberg, Germany Author Publishes Book of Poetry

August 3, 2017 - Our Village, a new book by Mojib Rahman Atal, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

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.
