Donate Now"Snake," featured by the Poetry Foundation online.
"Snake," a 15-minute documentary by Pulitzer Center grantees Seamus Murphy and Eliza Griswold, showcases the photography and video behind their Afghanistan landay project. Landays are two-line poems that reveal much about the usually hidden inner lives of Afghan women. The landays are a traditional art form, but they have been updated to reflect a country at war; they refer to drone attacks, the Internet and texting.
