Oh, wandering traveller!

Photo: Google search 
Peripatetically lonely, wearing a world of malaise
You are full of sorrow
But joyful too for sweet, bittersweet memories
Your words are poetic and your heart, full of love
But now, far from home, your mood is dull grey
Your surrounding lacks magic
You suffer each day
Suffocating slowly in this cloud of distrust
Sustained by your dreams, the freedom for which you lust
Despite eyes full of tears, your hope can transport you
Destination unknown, no family to support you

A wandering traveller:
When will you cross the frontier to security?
Years ago
I came to know
-that wandering travellers are accompanied
By Noah in the sea,
Retain your faith
I wish you fortitude;
Safe Journey, Nights illuminated by spontaneous quiet moonlight
And your heart full of love
Oh wandering traveller

Peripatetically lonely
Seeking shelter in this solitude, your parallel universe.

Green, red, blue ; a novel written by Afghan writer and novelist  Arif Farman , describing customs, traditions, love, difficulties and struggle in life. Mr. Farman is well-known for his previous novel AFGHANI, which is written with a very clear and simple language style and talks in a fascinating way about the true experience of Afghan refugees’ lives and suffering in Iran. The Green, Red and Blue, is a story of life in the east and west (Afghanistan and Sweden), two dramatically different countries, cultures and climates. The main characters of the book are a man from Afghanistan,  Shah Wali,  and a woman from Sweden called  Anna Karin . Shah Wali works as a driving instructor in Sweden, having left Afghanistan because of internal family conflicts and the traditional culture. He reflects on his past while teaching Anna Karin, who reminds him of his old girlfriend Angriz  “Just   looking at her face, when I saw her yesterday, it was like seeing Angriz…Her cleavage tak

We have entered the loveliest season of the year that we all have been waiting for : summer - a time for holidays and travel, a path to our dreams, and the connection to our best experiences and memories. Trondheim is a city with a very diverse cultural heritage and rich history. A city of differences that provides a variety of options in different parts of the year to celebrate and enjoy. As always in summer, Trondheim is full of entertaining programmes including several music festivals which make the city unique for visitors and tourists to enjoy and explore. Last month, I attended Musikfest Trondheim, a n arrangement of 70 different concerts all over the city, working together to create a p erfect musical mosaic of Trondheim. It was a melodic day with a concert in every corner of the city; in the restaurants, bars, parks and many other public places- a fun and unique festival that brought people together with smiles, dance, joy, and friendship. I felt

More than words

This is a true moment of joy and happiness to celebrate the publication of our anthology: a two-year poetic journey and the voice of diversity. Høre  hj e mme  is a multilingual poetry book published by Poetry Night in Trondheim defining our share d values and sense of belonging to the humanity. For me, p oetry has always been a lifesaver; in solitude, during times of happiness and joy or in any moment of sadness and suffering. Trondheim P oetry N ight   is a unique platform allowing participants to express themselves in their own language with its musicality and poetic beauty playing a central role to attract the attention of the audience, instead of just the words. So far, the language diversity, participation of poets from around the world and poetry lovers have created a universal language that brings people together to share a moment of joy and make memories. I personally love to start and end my talks by referring to a poem, because I trust that they are more tha
