MY LITERARY PROFILE, A MEMOIR
by Helene Pilibosian
ISBN 9781929966080
Ohan Press
Living with parents who were survivors of the Armenian Genocide, author Helene Pilibosian graduates from Watertown High School and Harvard University Extension School. She describes her life as well as the study of literature with Howard Mumford Jones and Paul Engle with scenes of Cambridge in the 1950s. Achieving a degree in humanities, she gets married and travels to Europe and the Middle East.
Health problems intrude, and Dwight E. Harken, M.D., an outstanding thoracic surgeon, saves her life with the best medical skill available in 1963. Theories of C.G. Jung lead her to a mystical experience, which fires her literary inspiration. She establishes Ohan Press and publishes a number of books, including her own, and in doing so makes peace with her past.
Grady Harp, reviewer for amazon.com, states "Helene Pilibosian is a true American Armenian: she wears the riches and the bruises of both descriptors well - and we are the better for her gifts. Recommendation: first read her poetry, then welcome her into your space as the person who rose to the height to write such poetry. She is an amazing artist."
