Lola Koundakjian’s book of poems released

The Accidental Observer, a book of poems in three languages - Armenian, Spanish, and English - has recently been published in New York by Lola Koundakjian, the director of the Armenian Poetry Project.

Noted as a stylist in poetry, Koundakjian’s interest in presenting Armenian poets writing in any language anywhere in the world has become legend. The book is sponsored by the NoMAA Regrant Program, made possible by the JPMorgan Chase Foundation and the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation, the Armenian Weekly reported.

The subjects of the poems concern the Armenian soul in its everyday interpretations of living, whether in Armenia, Europe, or in America.
