Vol. XLV No. 180 Fall 2004
The fall 2005 issue is a far-ranging one. Read about Karabagh's situation today domestically, as well as diplomatically. You'll find Richard Hovannisian's fascinating essay on Armenian merchants and international trade cheek and jowl with original poems and translations by Diana Der-Hovannisian. An interview with Turkish-Armenian intellectual Mahcupyan is particularly timely in light of recent developments in Turkey and the European Union. Three new films with Armenian connections are reviewed, while David Kherdian's new collection of poems about the father-son relationship, is examined within the context of changes in modern poetry. An Armenian looks back at his odyssey to Mississippi during the height of the American civil rights movement of the 1960s.
