27 May – Levon’s Divine Underground
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening readers, In my second week of being here I decided to google “strange things to do in Armenia”.

23 May – Only Then Will You Be Truly Awake
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening readers, Today we visited the dormitories and spent time with our Iraqi friend who speaks English.

15 May – The Diaspora Pot
We each hold the remnants freshly pulled from the kiln, Fractured, the diaspora pot. Glazed with ghostly blues and fiery hues, In the fever it has shattered, and small fragments lay within and beside on the concrete, Beneath our souls and our feet each piece, Cracked clay displaced. Together we collect the pieces and hand…

07 May – Windows
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening readers, For reasons that I am not entirely sure of, but will definitely try to figure out, I have been feeling slightly detached these last few days.
