A POETIC SOUL SHINED OF GENOCIDES

About the Book

These are real stories from my grandmother of known genocides still epidemically invading and crushing the principles of human rights.

Let us help every soul who speaks in a true voice.
In terrains where flesh decays, uncanned, and
Recognition of human rights is mightily unjust,
Since all related crimes are committed
By vicious Hands of vile minds.

Dr. Sylva Portoian is the winner of the Carnegie Price for Poetry, 2009
