Becky Dennison Sakellariou
Becky Dennison Sakellariou was born and raised in New England and has lived in Greece for most of her adult life. Much of her poetry demonstrates a creative tension between her two "worlds." She has published poems in the Beloit Poetry Journal, White Pelican Review, Common Ground Review, and several anthologies. She is now hoping to spend at least 3-4 months in New Hampshire every year.
"The Importance of Bone" won first prize in the Blue Light Press Chapbook Contest of 2005. The press is a cooperative press which runs out of San Fransisco and Iowa. Blue Light published the book in early 2006. The book can be purchased for $8.00 plus postage from Becky herself at becky@hol.gr.
"Becky Sakellariou's work shimmers not just with the light of Greece, where she has spent her adult years, but with the radiance words emit when miraculously placed together. Wise, quiet, mysterious and real, her poems honor both language and life." — Nancy J. Wiegel, Editor, The White Pelican Review
