The story of Serpouhi is a uniquely gripping account accessible to children and adults alike. In reviving Serpouhi's story Harkin both attests to the endurance of that tale, which has stayed with her since childhood, and helps to ensure that the story of one of the most tragic events in recent history is learned from and not forgotten.
Eighty year later it remains an important narrative of testimony and witness and a powerful woman's voice. Nicole Harkin has done a great service in bringing it back into print with her own afterword. We were never the same. The title poem of Peter Balakian's Ozone Journal is a sequence of fifty-four short sections, each a poem in itself, recounting the speaker's memory of excavating the bones of Armenian genocide victims in the Syrian desert with a crew of television journalists in These memories spark others—the dissolution of his marriage, his life as a young single parent in Manhattan in the nineties, visits and conversations with a cousin dying of AIDS—creating a montage that has the feel of history as lived experience.
Bookending this sequence are shorter lyrics that span times and locations, from Nairobi to the Native American villages of New Mexico. In the dynamic, sensual language of these poems, we are reminded that the history of atrocity, trauma, and forgetting is both global and ancient; but we are reminded, too, of the beauty and richness of culture and the resilience of love.
