The Moon in the Cusp of my Hand – Lola Koundakjian

Lola Koundakjian makes poetry of exquisite moments. Whether she encounters the quotidian or the extraordinary, what she conveys is profound. In her voice you’ll find experiences of the cosmopolitan, the bold, and the bereft, a life concocting meals, savoring music, commingling with the natural world, surveying lovers, testifying to war, searching for art, caring for ill parents, and traveling across NYC and the world as a poetry diplomat and empath. As you read her insights, you will feel discomfited, soothed, moved, and loved. Expertly fusing form and content, navigating between whimsy and gravitas, Lola offers a unique vision of hope.
