Armenian Poems
The rich and bountiful poetry of Armenia is presented in this collection, adeptly and sensitively translated to English to preserve the expressive beauty in the verses. Armenian poems are rich with passionate expression, sometimes voicing pride in the national culture, history and identity. Some of the poems are outright romantic; celebrating the beauty, aesthetics and emotive intensity of youthful courtship. Other verses celebrate Armenia's martial prowess; with differing cultures on multiple sides, the land often saw battle. The importance of the country's location at the border between the European and Asian continents finds allusion, as authors nod to past glories, and predict future prowess. Reference to the scenic lands of Armenia, its local dances and the way of life abound in the verse, the poetry often brimming with cultured allusions. Significantly, this anthology includes the most famed and celebrated works by the lauded national poets, together with older poetry and hymns dating back as far as the early-Medieval era. The reader thus acquires an acute impression of how Armenian poetic works evolved through the centuries.

Armenian poetry, old and new [armen.u.engl.] A bilingual anthology
The Armenian poetic tradition is rich in both language and spirit, and this bilingual anthology presents the reader with the opportunity to enjoy, in modern English, a sampling of that richness. Representative poems of sixteen centuries are chronologically arranged; there are hymns from the classical period, medieval mystical and love poems, poems of war and agonized witness, and poems of socialist realism. The collection also includes the complete text of the Hovhanness Toumanian version of the folk epic "David of Sassoun." The Armenian text of each poem faces its translation, so the book will be useful to the Armenian student and scholar alike. But whether the reader speaks English or Armenian, or both, he will find here treasures of a varied and little-known literature.

Armenian Poems
Excerpt from Armenian Poems: Rendered Into English Verse The first was the conviction that the sym pathy already felt for the Armenians in their martyrdom at the hands of the Turks would be deepened by an acquaintance with the temper and genius of the people, as shown in their poetry. The second was the fact that Armenian poetic liter ature, while well worthy to be known, was practically inaccessible to English-speaking readers. Of the sixty poems in this book, only two. So far as I can learn, have ever been put into English verse. The majority have never been translated, either in verse or prose. No attempt has been made to imitate the Armenian metres. The aim has been to reproduce the mean...
