With empathy and reverence, Sewak reflects on the historical past of his people, which is both filled with suffering and glorious. He dedicates his greatest lyrical work to the saddest side of Armenia. However, love poetry occupies an extraordinary place in the poet's works. Parujr Sewak creates a unique world of love, rich in revelations and discoveries. He expresses every feeling, from deep longing to the pain of his insomnia. He considers himself fortunate to love, yet simultaneously counts the days until their reunion. The poems gathered and translated in this volume encompass themes of love, homeland, the world, humanity, and nature. The feelings and philosophical thoughts that are deeply characteristic of Parujr Sewak flow from the poems in this book. Parujr Sewak (his original family name was Ghasarjan) was born on January 24, 1924, in Tchanakhtchí, now Sangakatun.
