In Armen Davoudian’s casually intimate poem “Coming Out of the Shower”,  mother and son perform their morning routines in the small, shared space of their household’s only bathroom. She chats and puts on her makeup, while he showers and uses her shampoo and robe — oh what rhythm, affection, and ease are to be seen in this dance they both know so well.  We invite you to subscribe to <a href="https://poetryunbound.substack.com">Pádraig’s weekly Poetry Unbound Substack</a>, read the <a href="https://bookshop.org/lists/books-by-padraig-o-tuama">Poetry Unbound books</a> and his newest work, <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/kitchen-hymns-p-draig-tuama/4f2a036b5d746205?aid=10066&ean=9781556597107&listref=books-by-padraig-o-tuama&next=t">Kitchen Hymns</a>, or <a href="http://onbeing.org/series/poetry-unbound/">listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes</a>.  Armen Davoudian has an MFA from Johns Hopkins University, and is currently a PhD candidate in English at Stanford University.
