Synopsis

The poems and articles in Island of Your Heart were mostly written from the early pandemic to the present. Several of the poems include a mixture of Greek and English phrasing, which have always been present in the author’s bi-lingual life. They travel back and forth from a tiny Greek island to the States, interweaving the beauty of the two places and tongues. All but one of the articles appeared in the Buffalo News for the My View section. They reflect the importance of poetry, art, and listening in our lives, along with the complexity of relationships and current events during the pandemic.
