Description: A Classic Contemporary reissuing of Falling Deeply Into America, poems by Gregory Djanikian.
Brief description: Gregory Djanikian has published six previous collections of poems with Carnegie Mellon, most recently Dear Gravity. His poems have appeared in numerous journals and anthologies and have been featured on PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer. He was for many years the director of creative writing at the University of Pennsylvania. He lives outside Philadelphia.
Review Quotes: Here is reclamation, collective and personal, of an Armenian history in poems of remembrance, affection, tenderness, replenishment. [In his moving poems], Gregory Djanikian does what Joseph Brodsky said the poet should do: begins in elegy and ends in praise.
