Alex Vartan Gubbins paints a stunning portrait of a life lived between his two homelands: Michigan and Armenia. This poetry combines elegy and lyric across prose and open forms to shed light on the conundrum of diaspora--feeling rooted here, there, and in neither place entirely.

Alex Vartan Gubbins paints a stunning portrait of a life lived between his two homelands: Michigan and Armenia. This poetry combines elegy and lyric across prose and open forms to shed light on the conundrum of diaspora--feeling rooted here, there, and in neither place entirely. Crossing the boundaries of space and time, Gubbins conjures personal and collective memory to probe and unsettle notions of legacy, family, diaspora, geopolitical borders, and narratives of power. The ebb and flow of sadness and longing, paralleled by unshakeable spirit, ultimately settles within these poems as hope and wonder at existing in the everyday.
