Lost Voices of Afghanistan

Poet Daljit Nagra introduces Lost Voices of Afghanistan in which Afghan people share trauma and protest in tender poetry. From 2011.

Poet Daljit Nagra revisits the BBC's radio poetry archive with 'Lost Voices of Afghanistan'.

When BBC Correspondent Jonathan Charles made an appeal on BBC World Service for Afghan civilians to send in their war poetry, little did he anticipate the flood of writing it would inspire.

Here, he explores a selection of those poems and interviews the authors.

Producer: Laura Parfitt
