"Zareh Khrakhuni is the continuation of Tekeyan. He is one of the
Istanbul Armenian creators who started to think how to raise current
Armenian literature to a classical level, including its love, art, and
mentality," poet and Lebanon Armenian Aram Sepechyan said today at the
presentation of the "Tonazang" poetry collection at the Writer’s Union.
According to the literary expert, the poetry collection is a revelation
in Armenian literature, saying it differs from others in its lack of
punctuation. "This is indeed a revelation in current literature. He
returned to the style of the 10-15th centuries," Sepechyan said.
The author, in essence, writes about different themes, including the
land of Armenia, stones, air, and water.
Writer’s Union president Levon Ananyan believes that "He is the
last of the Mohicans of Armenian Diaspora writers, if not the very
last. Khrakhuni has been able to create a poetic sphere in Armenian
lyricism."
We note that at the conclusion of the book presentation, connected
with the writer’s 80th birthday, Ananyan presented the writer with a
Writer’s Union medal. Until now, Khrakhuni has authored 30 collections
of poetry.
