Shame Every Rose: Images from Afghanistan is an exhibition of photographs by Seamus Murphy that illustrate the landay, a clandestine oral folk poetry practiced by the Pashtun women who span the border between Afphanistan and Pakistan. This event features a talk by Seamus Murphy and author Eliza Griswold, the screening of a short film by Murphy titled Snake, readings, conversation, and the chance to view the accompanying exhibit, on display in the Poetry Center Library courtesy of the Poetry Foundation.
