The Promise of the Pomegranate Tree

Composed of poems and letters written during quarantine, this book is a commemoration of all our losses during the pandemic: the precious lives that were lost to COVID and the different types of losses we suffered that affected our overall wellbeing. This collection is especially dedicated to my own people who have been fighting valiantly, for generations, in order to preserve their lives, their homes, and our lands. The Promise of the Pomegranate Tree is a celebration of the resiliency of the human spirit, represented by the pomegranate tree, a prominent Armenian cultural symbol. I hope that all people are blessed with the abundance, prosperity, and good fortune that the Nur symbolizes.
