The Armenian Poetry Project is past 48,000 hits mark since its debut in May 2006.
Heartfelt thanks to all the contemporary authors for their permission to post their poems, and, to the readers who contributed their voices to 19th through 21st century authors so they may be heard all over the world.
During the last two years, I have used many resources in New York City and around the world. I would like to thank the staff at the New York Public Library (Humanities Research), the Zohrab Center (Armenian Diocese, New York), the Armenian Prelacy (New York), the AGBU's Bibliothèque Nubar (Paris), and, the Librairie Samuélian (Paris).
