Coffee Poetics Coffee Poetics stems from an event organized at Storm Books & Candy in Brooklyn, NY. In July 2024, we invited people to join us for an Armenian coffee cup reading — each guest was served a cup of Armenian coffee, and after drinking the coffee, Anahit Pogosian performed a reading of the symbols from the coffee grinds inside the cup. The cups were photographed by Nadia Bedj, and the symbols are woven into poems by Alina for our upcoming book. The proceeds from the event went to Artsakh via All For Armenia.
