Amphitrite Constantelos-Manuel

In Greece, where I was born and raised, myths, poems, and fairy tales were a part of our everyday life. I have many fond memories of my childhood, sitting around the fireplace with my family during the long winter nights, listening to enchanting stories from the adults, and reciting the poems I had learned in school. I have always enjoyed telling my stories and reciting my poems to the captive audience of my children, now my grandchildren, and to students in the schools where I was teaching and now to the students in my substitute teaching classes. This is a very small sample of my poems.
