My Life's Book is a deeply personal collection of poems drawn from the lived experiences of an Armenian immigrant woman whose life spans continents, generations, love, loss, and renewal.
Born in Aleppo and later building her life in the United States, Lucy Toprakjian Murphy writes not about abstract themes, but about life as she has known it-family, homeland, faith, hardship, devotion, motherhood, and rebirth. Her poetry is intimate yet universal, echoing the truth that everything personal is universal. Readers will recognize themselves in her reflections on joy and sorrow, strength and vulnerability, memory and hope.
This volume gathers poems that might otherwise have remained scattered across social media, preserving them in book form as a cultural and emotional archive. Through these pages, Lucy's voice becomes a bridge between generations-especially for descendants who may one day no longer read Armenian but will still seek connection to their family's matriarch and heritage.
Simple in form yet rich in feeling, these poems invite readers to pause, remember, and reflect on their own journeys.
This is not merely a book of poems. It is the book of a life.
