Photini Mina, author of Feed Me a Poem
What inspires you to write? Nature’s colors and sounds, the smell and taste of your food, the history of the countries and places you’ve visited, the stories of your friends and people you’ve met, the buildings you see while strolling, and the pets you caress is my daily source of inspiration!

Harmony Project, Ep. 5: An Unbearable Weight

Harmony Project, Ep. 3: Rock and a Hard Place
The gray sky threatened early evening showers, a welcome relief from the unusual heat wave that had rolled in days ago. Sitting in his living room, Mauricio stared at the houses across the street. Their narrow little neighborhood street in the Chiswick area of suburban London still felt claustrophobic to him. He missed the wide…
