Thank you. Your words deeply resonate with me. A few years ago, I was inspired to write about what Armenian poetry means to me. An excerpt from that entry: “As revered as monarchs and warriors, poets are an integral part of our history and literary tradition. In my darkest hour, it’s Sevak that I turn to. His words always have the effect of centering me, calming me, and helping me make sense of this chaotic world. Within the Armenian literary tradition, poetry is how life, in all its layers, is analyzed and described. It’s not something one is “into” or an “enthusiast of;” rather, it’s how one is. It’s a part of my consciousness, who and what I am in this world. It is my history and the place from which I emerge and project myself into this world. It’s what shapes how I interpret and interact with my surroundings. It’s like salt that becomes one with food and whose presence is not as easily noticed as its absence. It flavors and enriches, and with time, may be absorbed more deeply into the food.”

I’m grateful that you’re keeping our poetry alive. I look forward to reading all of your translations!

Peace and Love,
Hasmig
