I live with my husband Peter in Athens where I work as an English teacher and lexicographer. I love painting and iconography of saints. When I am not working, I like traveling to the Holy Land and to Egypt. My poems have won several commendations and have appeared in various anthologies and journals like Silver Birch Press, Bonsaistories among others.

​ON THE DEATH OF MY FATHER 


You are gone and with you I cannot converse
my prayer our only communication channel
This phone call will certainly reach you

My cries no longer heave
I have started to play the piano again
got that pixie cut with long bangs
​
I know you are well
I can feel you
I see you smile
