About the book
Experimental, concrete, and visual poetry in Armenian (includes other languages) which explores questions of language, identity, and translation.
​
Through visual and experimental poetic form, the book tells the story of a troubadour grappling to find a means in language and sound to sing a canton of her childhood. In its struggles and "failures" to express and narrate, the book's inter-textuality and hybridity explore and challenge themes related to language, subjectivity and translation; as well as reflect upon how the threat imposed on a dying language, such as Western Armenian, can manifest itself linguistically and textually.
