    • Rear Window on Wheels: A Poem

      Posted at 10:29 am by athenapappas, on May 31, 2014

      2013-10-13 16.44.08 HDR

      Basically unrelated to my poem, here is a picture of a trashcan in Aachen, Germany. As part of an initiative to get citizens to clean up the town, they starting making talking trashcans. I wasn’t going to throw my garbage on the ground regardless, but I love this little guy! He is telling me how fun cleaning is.

      Back to business, I wanted to share a poem I recently had published, Rear Window on Wheels. You can check it out here, on The Flexist.

    • Vlog Poets- Week 31 Revising Poetry

      Posted at 8:41 pm by athenapappas, on May 16, 2012

       

      How does one revise poetry?

      Also, dear readers, I apologize for my lack of posts recently. I have been quite busy with the new job. As the next few weekends will also be quite busy for me, it might be awhile before I can start updating with any frequency again. I promise soon I will revise my blog mission and provide you with regular post to read.
