Vincent Hunanyan

Vincent Hunanyan (May 21, 1991) (Armenian: Վինսենթ Հունանյան) is the Armenian-born author and poet. His debut work, Black Book of Poems is a poetry collection touching on the subjects of loss, love, pain, happiness, depression and abandonment. The collection was released on May 21, 2017 and has been an Amazon bestseller for over 3 years! His second work, I Wasn't Crying Over You was published on September 21, 2017, and is a collection of short stories, mainly based on the author's childhood and transition into adulthood. His long awaited sequel, Black Book of Poems II, was released on September 1, 2020. Hunanyan's passion for writing began at the age of 13, when the author, together with his childhood friend worked on rap lyrics they would record at home and release online. In time, those lyrics turned into poetry. Though Hunanyan graduated UCLA in 2015, it wasn't until two years later that he would release his debut, accepting a sales job to "improve his communication skills" until finally quitting at the end of 2016. The idea for Black Book of Poems was conceived after the author separated from his college girlfriend and decided to pursue a career in writing. The title for the collection comes from the lyrics of the song, Nobody Home by Pink Floyd. As of April 2020, the book has been an Amazon bestseller for nearly 3 consecutive years with over 470 customer reviews. The book was also featured on Hilary Swank's holiday wish list as reported by Today on December 8, 2017. A new, revised version of Black Book of Poems got published on May 5th, 2020.
