Mythopoesis Paperback – August 19, 2022 by Raphaela Pavlakos (Author), Georgia Perdikoulias (Author)
In “Iphigenia,” the exploration of fate, familial duty, and the personal toll of glory is both poignant and powerful. The imagery of Iphigenia’s “pale shoulder” and “blood blooms” starkly contrasts her innocence with the harsh reality of her sacrifice, offering a compelling meditation on mythological tragedy and personal loss....

My Empire Sputters
To begin with, what a great title for the collection: My Empire Sputters. The empire, therefore, is alive, but the sputtering indicates brief sounds that could be attributed to a dying empire. The poems contained can give the reader further knowledge of this catastrophe, which, I believe, is the result of man’s own making....
Featured Interviews
An Interview with Daniel Thomas Moran
I write every day but not always poems. I have written essays for a number of newspapers and magazines, some of them humorous, some of them memoir and some of them discussing ideas about life. I live my life seeing the world as a poet, paying attention and thinking about it all.
An Interview with Alan Catlin
I think like most serious poets, I have to write. It’s what you do. It’s your life. I find inspiration in books, movies, newspaper reports, from my job, getting to my job on a bus was great material, from crazy neighbors and neighborhoods I lived in. Just about anything is a potential subject.
An Interview with Terry Persun
Writing a good poem. Poetry is not a high-income format in many countries. So, what a poet must focus on is the poem itself, the words, the line endings, the stanza breaks, as well as the theme and images, metaphors or similes. As a poet, the only person that really matters is me and if I can sense or feel that the poem is working. I do have other poets read my work and offer suggestions, but ultimately, I’m responsible for the poem to turn out the way I want it to.
