The first genocide of modern times was the 1915 Turkish massacre of the Armenians. In Sad Days of Light, Peter Balakian relives Armenia's tragic heritage. The figure of his grandmother, a survivor of the massacre, provides a dramatic center for the poet's lyrical evocation of suffering and heroism.
