Postcards from Earth's Whisper

In spring 2011, poets and writers Joshua Ferris, Eliza Griswold, Bob Holman, Nathalie Handal and Christopher Merrill traveled to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nepal and UAE as part of a literary tour sponsored by the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa and the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs at the U.S. Department of State. POSTCARDS is a series of short pieces about their trip including their experiences in Pakistan when Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. Special Forces.
