“I listened to several poems in this audiobook. Beautiful poetry—sad, tough, evocative, mysterious. The message about the horrific Armenian genocide is conveyed in a uniquely expressive manner. The power of the poems is enhanced by the narrator, Beata Pozniak. She is the perfect messenger for the poet’s words. Her affecting and distinctive reading of these poems superbly conveys their message, nuances, feelings. “Libretto for the Desert” is a significant work of art.”
