IN a time when there seems to be an unbridgeable gap between the east and west, two writers have come together to show the world through art bridges are built.

THE EAST: Afghan, Afzal Shauq, highly respected author of poetry written in the Afghan language of Pashto. The collection of 333 poems expresses the feelings and experiences of the author and the Afghan people.

THE WEST: Alley Boling, from the United States, driven by her desire for the English speaking world to understand all people share the same feelings desires and dreams dedicated herself to translating Shauq's poetry.

IT is the writers' hope, though a TWIST OF FATES, may place us on opposite sides of the world, the art of poetry will bridge us together.
