“When you are touched by poetry, it creates a positive energy in you,” says Alicia Ghiragossian, poet and author of Peace Quantum (Yerevan State University, 2006). “I truly believe that energy is contagious and can expand. Humankind needs to be aware about the life and happiness-creating effects of Love, Peace and Forgiveness.”
Ghiragossian’s poetry was put together to pay respect to those who have given their lives for Peace and love like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi. It is her fervent hope that her words can help contribute to creating peace on this planet. “Peace starts in the heart of individuals,” says Ghiragossian.
“I write about Peace because words have a soul and they can travel to other souls through ultrasonic waves, which cannot be detected by human senses.”Her poetry is designed to register directly into the subconscious. Ghiragossian founded the “meta-dimensional” theory of poetry, in which she exposed the essential elements of metaphors. Her latest book has been praised by some of the world’s most famous proponents of peace.
“Books like these will contribute towards the spread of peace in the world,” said The Dalai Lama, Nobel Peace Laureate.
[...]
Her work is known all over the world. She has earned international prizes and has been published in English, Spanish, Armenian, Italian, Persian, Greek, and French. It has also been translated into Portuguese, Russian, and Swedish.
[...]
With 44 volumes of her poetry published, her work is considered to be among the giants of world poetry, attracting the attention of many famous luminaries. In fact, she is the only living poet whose work was illustrated by the legendary Pablo Picasso.
Ghiragossian’s book, Peace Quantum, presents its poetry in a unique way. The poems are laid out side-by-side in English, Spanish, and Armenian. It is one of the world’s first truly trilingual poetry book. Accompanying her book is a CD of her poems, set to the music of Chopin, and a DVD with a short film.
