Becky Dennison Sakellariou, whose New England Roots stretched overseas to the island of Euboia, Greece, was surprised when her work was selected to be published as Volume II in the
Hobblebush Granite State Poetry Series. She had lived most of her adult life in Greece. The poems in Earth Listening reflect the complex tapestries of the two very different worlds that Sakellariou inhabits. She says, “These poems also
explore what I call the beginning of dying; the way our pores open to the world even more intensely as we age and as death appears more visceral around us. There is both the contradiction and balance, the push and pull of that continual ‘making sense of the world.’ ” Our November special: 20% off

Becky's fourth book, The Possibility of Red, is a bilingual edition of her poems translated into Greek by well-known Greek poet Maria Laina. "Becky Sakellariou’s writing has the passion and delight of a small child seeing her world for the first time, together with the wisdom, longing and regret of a mature woman. The New England voice of her youth has been abundantly
infused with the lyricism of Greek cadences, which is why these poems translate so beautifully." —Sue Camarados, author, Athens, Greece Our November special: 20% off
The Possibility of Red.
