The Armenian Poetry Project’s producer and director Lola Koundakjian likes to celebrate the Project’s anniversaries, as she put it, “quietly, reading poetry”. This year, with the help of the Armenian Institute and the International Armenian Literary Alliance, we are celebrating APP’s 15th anniversary with a reading of some of the most beautiful poems on APP’s website.
With close to 3000 posts and 200 audio clips, APP is a free site containing poems written by Armenians, as well as contemporary authors on Armenian subject matters. It represents authors from the 19th century to present, with some Krapar pieces added to the mix. Sources include out of print books, periodicals and digitized archives.
