Karian Markos
Poetry and Fiction
Seagull Shaman
Knowing the
fish beneath
the waves hide
from her beak,
she prays for
forgiveness.
Instinct drives
her act of
contrition.

One day someone will review my work. They may even like it.
"Karian Markos is a pretty cool and modern lady."
F.M. Markos, Daughter #1
Some real reviews coming soon...
For now, I'll tell you what my kids think of me.
‘Karian Markos is a very nice, funny and cool person.’
M.M. Markos, Daughter #2
My kids are tough critics.
“Mommy is the best, best, best, best.”
