A new book is about to give Pashtun culture something to be known for, besides war and terror: poetry. The BBC reports that the collected works of poet Rahman Baba have been translated by English teachers Robert Sampson and Momin Khan Jaja. The book doesn’t appear to be available from online retailers, though a small selection of Baba’s poetry appears in this book.
