PALEWELL PRESS

In August 2021 the Taliban took control of Afghanistan introducing increasingly severe policies against women, restricting their rights and freedoms. Writing has become a lifeline for the women. Like the spring that bubbles forth into a fountain, poetry and memoir emerge from the dark underground of oppression, grief and longing. They need to be shared. This beautiful moving anthology, edited by Viv Fogel, sets out to do just that - enabling a group of courageous Afghan women to be heard. Do join Palewell Press for the launch at the Arthouse Cinema in Crouch End on the evening of Friday 30th October.
