Sona Van
In A Libretto for the Desert, Sona Van's subject is the Armenian genocide, also known as the Great Catastrophe. Van's parents and grandparents were driven into exile due to this horrific event. Her poems reflect a personal connection to this history as well as the universality of loss, persecution, and intolerance.

Reseñas de la Crítica
“Beata Pozniak’s accented, dramatic narration conjures a faraway desert land. Sona Van’s abstract meditation on the Armenian genocide of 1915-1917 is dedicated to the victims of all wars and atrocities. Plumbing the depths of pain, Pozniak’s narration is intense, breathy, and emotional, and is augmented by background sounds of desert winds and distant, echoing Middle Eastern music. Pozniak’s artful pauses, varied tempo, and voice full of emotion convey the weight of the horrific events of the genocide and their effects on individuals. The work employs the Armenian genocide as its focus but also touches upon other wars and suffering, including the more recent events in Iraq.” (AudioFile)
The way Sona Van talks about unspeakably terrible and broken lives is amazing.....Bravo
It should never happen again...

"help me, o muse
can't you see-
the screams muffled in the dust
won't turn into songs
the medusa of countless bones in the sand
won't turn into an epic poem "
Pozniak perfectly captures the voice of the poet in portraying a range of pain, sorrow and hope. She gives the listeners a haunting sense of unease that intensifies the poetic experience.
A Powerfully Resonant Voice

"there are two kinds of thorns in the desert
those that prick your feet
and those that prick your memory and . . . the rest"
With such and economy of words, she envokes an escalating train of thought.
Her narrative style brings out the pain and loss to picture.
i love it
