1. The Accidental Observer (2010). Armenian with English and Spanish translations.



 


A reviewer on Amazon said: Evocative, terse and at the same time richly complex, 'The Accidental Observer' is filled with provocative insights and fascinating meters that ultimately serve to remind us why people fall in love with poetry in the first place. Highly recommended.






2. Advise to a Poet (Peruvian edition 2014; US edition 2015). Armenian with English and Spanish translations. 




 






A graphic novel --  a favorite with children in South America --  it was an Orange Book prize finalist in Armenia in 2012

3. The Moon in the Cusp of my Hand (2020). English poems with Spanish translations. 



 


Reviewer Raffi Joe Wartanian says: When I met Lola Koundakjian in 2010, I was immediately struck by her boundless sense of joy, her passion for arts and culture, her sophisticated understanding of what makes a good story... Such is the abundant spirit in the pages of her new collection THE MOON IN THE CUSP OF MY HAND.
