Description
Nostalgia for the Future: New and Selected Poems by Gregory Djanikian, written over several decades, takes for its many subjects romantic love and its difficulties, the horrors of the Armenian genocide of 1915, the émigré experience and the joys and struggles of acculturation. It explores the allure of landscapes and vast distances, the polarity of our material life on earth and our longing for what is ethereal and elusive.
This collection is imbued with tones that are humorous, elegiac, contemplative, and lyrical. It is suffused with a gratitude for the mysteriousness and wonder of life itself.
