The Literary Groong
Dr. Bedros Afeyan (bedros@mac.com)
is the editor of The Literary Groong. He will consider works not only
of poetry, but also of short creative fiction. Quality of language,
song and images, and excellence of translation are all crucial to the
aesthetic value of any work under consideration. All submissions must
be sent electronically
to bedros@mac.com and cc'd
to groong@usc.edu. The editor will
indicate if a piece will appear. Once an item has been published on
our site we will not remove it except at our discretion. The author
may submit a piece sent to the TLG to other publications at any time,
We do not try to prevent wider circulation of works.
We hope that we will have an opportunity to promote quality works that
will shine as beacons for the next generation of writers who take up
pen and thought, express themselves, share their inner worlds and live
as passionate Armenians within the creative arena. The publication
rate will be no more than once weekly limited only by the quality of
the pieces available. So please send in good works often!
