LIMINAL

My nose? To books.

My mind? On paper.

My heart? In art.

​

My full name is John Ohan Danho.

Ohan is the Armenian name for John. Therefore, you’ve correctly deduced that my name is John John. 

I was named after my grandfather.

​

As an Armenian-American, that hyphen between identity has captured my imagination and attention for at least a decade. I shoulder its weight in my writing and try to create my truth.

​

I consider myself lucky to’ve had my poetry published several times over, and I am working on my first ever novel — a full-on fantasy epic titled Broadfire, a reinvigoration of Armenian mythology for the Western palate. I write as often as I can in-between teaching English at the college level.

​

In exploring this site, I hope you gain a fuller picture of

who John Ohan is.
