Song of The Bread, Daniel Varuzhan, translated by Tatoul Sonentz (softcover)

This is the first complete translation into English of Song of the Bread, the book of Daniel Varuzhan (also Taniel Varoujan, 1884-1915) published six years after being savagely killed during the Armenian Genocide. In his foreword, the editor of the volume, Viken Tufenkjian, writes: “The poems in this volume transcend the boundaries of time, ethnicity, and geography. Irrespective of the language in which they were composed, they elicit in the reader ageless insights into the human endeavor to suffuse life with beauty and love. That Sonentz’s masterful translations in this volume have unpacked the enduring relevance of Varuzhan’s final work is a tribute to the genius of the poet.”
