I'm not much for poetry, but there are a few gems in this one.

Tekeyan is good at writing about his unrecognized love for another. He aptly expresses his frustration at not being able to articulate his affection for the object of his desire. His rage for the Turks for the Armenian holocaust finds voice.

My favorite poem was "Last Will"…which, if I can arrange it…will be read at my memorial service.

The poems in this are in English and in Armenian. There are perhaps sixty or so pages of poetry in English…roughly that many poems.
