Embassy of Greece Poetry Event

I am honored that the Embassy of Greece has invited me and the poetry members of the Hellenic Writers' Group of Washington DC to an evening of poetry. This is a culmination of many years of our group meetings, sharing our poems, publishing our works, and now being acknowledged by a prestigious organization. I am proud of the efforts of the poets and for the opportunity to showcase our work.
