"I'm (he/him) a linguist, writer, translator, and pleasure activist whose work centers the future of Western Armenian language, creativity, and cultural expansion. With fluency in Western Armenian and English, I dedicate my practice to improving Armenian language acquisition for individuals and groups while creating bold, contemporary Armenian literature.
I have two bilingual poetry books, #jivjiv, in collaboration with Amy Kazandjian who did the 🤯 gorgeous covers and illustrations, and with Abril Books who printed both of them. Through poetry, humor, and linguistic innovation, I build bridges between tradition and the modern Armenian imagination. Opening doors for queer, diasporic, and young Armenian speakers to claim the language as their own." - Galas LA
