The Accidental Observer
A collection of Armenian poems translated into English and Spanish
Shadows
There are things that happen behind closed doors that most people know nothing about. This is a story about survival that some are not as fortunate enough as I have been to live through and recount. It is a story that must be shared because it voices the plight of so many silent and silenced people who are still suffering silently, fighting dark shadows that constantly hover, overpowering their will to even attempt to see the light.
We Are All Armenian
A collection of essays about Armenian identity and belonging in the diaspora. In the century since the Armenian Genocide, Armenian survivors and their descendants have written of a vast range of experiences using storytelling and activism, two important aspects of Armenian culture. Wrestling with questions of home and self, diasporan Armenian writers bear the burden of repeatedly telling their history, as it remains widely erased and obfuscated. Telling this history requires a tangled balance of contextualizing the past and reporting on the present, of respecting a culture even while feeling lost within it. We Are All Armenian brings together established and emerging Armenian authors to refl...
The Promise of the Pomegranate Tree
Composed of poems and letters written during quarantine, this book is a commemoration of all our losses during the pandemic: the precious lives that were lost to COVID and the different types of losses we suffered that affected our overall wellbeing. This collection is especially dedicated to my own people who have been fighting valiantly, for generations, in order to preserve their lives, their homes, and our lands. The Promise of the Pomegranate Tree is a celebration of the resiliency of the human spirit, represented by the pomegranate tree, a prominent Armenian cultural symbol. I hope that all people are blessed with the abundance, prosperity, and good fortune that the Nur symbolizes.
Women Drummers
In 1942, drummer Viola Smith sent shock waves through the jazz world by claiming in Down Beat magazine that “hep girls” could sit in on any jam session and hold their own. In Women Drummers: A History from Rock and Jazz to Blues and Country, Angela Smith takes Viola at her word, offering a comprehensive look at the world of professional drumming and the women who had the courage and chops to break the barriers of this all-too-male field. Combining archival research with personal interviews of more than fifty female drummers representing more than eight decades in music history, Smith paints a vivid picture of their struggles to overcome discrimination—not only as professional musicians...
Love in the Time of Corona
Love in the Time of Corona is a product of our times, inspired by the mental and emotional struggles associated with fear, uncertainty, and the isolation experienced during quarantine. It is also an exploration of love, loss, loneliness, and the turmoil that springs from lack of communication, hopelessness, and alienation. However, the underlying themes are those of hope, resiliency, and reconciliation. Love transcends to a realm where the soul’s mere desire is for union, not just with fellow human beings, but also with oneself and with Nature.
At the Table of the Unknown
At the Table of the Unknown confirms that the possibility for poetry is everywhere. These poems are clear, open-eyed, and harvested from two decades of writing about everything from the echoing feeling of loss to the gritty strangeness of parenthood. Here, language is harnessed, sometimes by formal elements, and sometimes by its own energy, to explore what it means to be alive today.
Wind in a Box
The third collection of poetry from the author of Lighthead, winner of the 2010 National Book Award Watch for the new collection of poetry from Terrance Hayes, American Sonnets for My Past and Future Assassin, coming in June of 2018 Terrance Hayes is an elegant and adventurous writer with disarming humor, grace, tenderness, and brilliant turns of phrase. He is very much interested in what it means to be an artist and a black man. In his first collection, Muscular Music, he took the reader through a living library of cultural icons, from Shaft and Fat Albert to John Coltrane and Miles Davis. His second collection, Hip Logic, continued these explorations of popular culture, fatherhood, cultura...
