November 2007

In November DDH was a guest at the TAIPEI POETRY FESTIVAL in Taiwan where she read from her own work and also lectured on Armenian poetry, its history, influences and major poets. As she spoke, the walls behind her were lit by projections of translations into Chinese.  During her Armenian talk about Armenian poetry, the poems of Varoujan, Charents, Frik, Koutchag, as well as contemporary writers were also projected in translation as well as photos taken by Armin Wagner, the German photographer who was in Turkey during the genocide of the Armenians.
