This lovely winter-themed anthology has poems and poetic prose by over 60 writers, inspired by the festive season and a range of traditions from across the world, including a micropoem by yours truly. I'm glad to be a part of it as well as the audio playlist. Many thanks to editor Matthew M.C. Smith and the Black Bough Poetry team.
Reinventing Armenia: Poetry after the Genocide The years from 1915 to 1921 were the turning point in modern Armenian history, characterized by displacement and emigration.
