The circle dancers
Diana Der-Hovanessian finds, in her Armenian culture and the genocide of 1915, a terrible and wonderful heritage. With her lyrical New England gifts and her American Armenian life, her poetry is both personal and historical, which is to say she has fused song to bronze, a feat very few poets coming from a dual culture have dared or sustained.
