by Anahit Arustamyan
With her latest collection of poetical gems Anahit Arustamyan has truly tapped into the zeitgeist: that yearning for nourishment of the soul. These are authentically philosophical as well as poetic, gems she is offering us. The poet talks directly to the existential angst of the age. If you need spiritual, but not necessarily religious, insight you will find it in the pages of her latest offering. The book itself is a joy to hold with clear bold type and gorgeous illustrations. One of my particular favourites is ‘No, Poets Never Die’. Like many of the other poems in this collection it appears to suffuse light, its closing lines:
“A candle is melting while spreading light,
Poets melt like candles but never die.”
It makes you want to be a poet, which is another virtue of this work it is almost militantly poetic. This is a worthy and important calling! The world has great need of spiritual and philosophical poetry and Anahit is supplying it in a jewelled box. Once you dip into it you want more and more and each one sparkles with enlightenment.
Another of my favourites ‘Hey, Winds’
“Hey, winds! Were those butterflies real on the scales of your yesterday?
Oh crazy winds! Butterflies turn into fairies.”
For me Anahit Arustamyan’s words turn into butterflies, the butterflies into angels and the angels spread their dust in my path and sooth my soul. Thank you poet for your soul food. And fellow readers if you have need of sustenance, I fully recommend these poetical delights.
Having read this great and inspiring work I see there are predecessors: ‘The Queen Of Metaphors’, My Intoxicated Ink’, ‘The phantom’s Dolphin’ and ‘Words In Flight’: all of these will find a space in my treasure trove to bring light to the dark night of the soul.

Review by Owen Clough
This is the first time I have sat down and read a book of poetry. I was not sure what to expect. So I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed Anahit Arustamyan's "The Hues of My Palette" The book kept me engrossed from start to finish, her words thrilling and inspiring. Painting word pictures in my mind. A talented woman and I would have no problems at all recommending her book to those that want to be enlightened, entertained, with the mastery of the spoken word. Well done.

I loved the imagery and thought put into her poetry. Many of the poems brought me vivid pictures and unexpected emotions. I loved the fluid writing style that was like a song from her soul. A wonderful collection of works.

An imaginative author of insightful poetry. Her unique style compliments her usage of metaphor and narrative. I purchased one of her works and was impressed.

Five Stars.
I had the pleasure this past weekend to sit in my backyard reading poetry, specifically Canvas of my Soul: The Hues of My Palette by Anahit Arustamyan. The title page identifies this volume as containing Lyrical and philosophical poems. And that is the treat that lays within this book, beautiful poetry along with beautiful color images that appear throughout the book: a palette, an incredible angel, wearing a windswept gown, her hair flowing behind her, reaching out as the poems reach out to a lover of the poetess in “We Wait and Wait to be Together”,
Our ages melt like soft snowflakes
And they won’t come back.
And to Christ. From “I Speak to Him”,
I whisper Jesus and he hears me.
My prayers unwrap my days unwrapped in mist.
I am looking forward soon to reading another book of this poetess’s poetry.

Amazing, articulate use of language from this Poet/Author. I was totally entranced by the graphic images her language portrays. It is like a landscape artist who uses different colours, hues, shades and textures to draw in the observer, or in this case, the reader ! I want to read more of this writer's work as it left me hungry for more. Anahit Arustamyan is now officially my favourite Author.
