Poetry. David Kherdian is the author or editor of over fifty books, which include poetry, novels, memoirs, and children's books as well as critical studies, translations, and retellings. His numerous awards include a Newbery Honor Book, the Jane Addams Peace Award, the Friends of American Writers Award, and a nomination for the American Book Award. With simple and assuming means, like one of the great Armenian artisans who built the acclaimed original Christian churches, Kherdian creates the very life of the neighborhood of his childhood, and at the same time lets us see into the mind and spirit and heart of the poet himself -- Aram Saroyan.
