Silva Kaputikyan wrote about love, motherhood, belonging and the responsibilities of cultural memory. Her poetry and travel writing connect private feeling with Armenian life across borders.
Born in Yerevan, she became a prominent poet and public figure. Journeys among Armenian communities abroad shaped her reflections on identity, distance and the continuing bonds of language.
Word to My Son addresses the transmission of Armenian from mother to child. Her travel book The Caravans Still March records encounters with the diaspora, while her lyric poetry also explores affection, separation and the passage of time.
