Laura Margosian

Laura Margosian is the granddaughter of Armenian immigrants from Hussenig, Kharpert and Arabkir, who escaped Turkish persecution and massacres. She is an educator with a background in cultural anthropology that deeply informs her innate curiosity and sensitivity. She also has a lifelong love of the culinary arts, holistic health and dancing. Laura began writing poetry as a child while exploring the seashores, forests and mountains of New England. Her lushly lyrical work, inspired by the natural world, explores themes of the heart, social justice, memory and identity. Her poetry has appeared in various publications, and she received the Armenian Allied Arts Association Award for her poem about abstract expressionist Arshile Gorky. She is available for readings, workshops and collaborations. You may follow her on Instagram @Laura_Margosian.
