Nationally-acclaimed poet Gregory Djanikian
will read from his works at the Zohrab Center of March 13 at 7:30PM.
Three distinguished American-Armenian
poets will read from their works in a literary evening on Wednesday March 13,
2013 at the Zohrab Center in New York. Abraham Terian, Lola Koundakjian, and
Gregory Djanikian will read from their work in English and Armenian.
Dr. Abraham Terian, a
native of Jerusalem, is Professor Emeritus of Armenian Theology at St. Nersess
Armenian Seminary. An internationally renowned Armenologist and theologian, his
poetry represents an significant aspect of his creative output, if less well
known than his scholarly writings.
Lola Koundakjian is an internationally regarded
and published poet whose work has been translated into Ukrainian and
Spanish.
Gregory Djanikian,
Director of the Creative Writing Program at the University of Pennsylvania, and
a native of Alexandria Egypt, has been called “a gardener of the human spirit.”
His work has been published in several collections and has appeared in a number
of magazines and journals.
Conversation and refreshments will follow
the reading, along with the opportunity to purchase the authors’ books. The
poetry evening is open to the public. A $5 donation per person will support the
work of the Zohrab Center. Students with ID will be admitted free of
charge.
