'"Freedom is both acquired and innate. A young mind is one that can be educated. Education being the means by which you learn the value of freedom and are set free."

'"Wish Upon is a rhyming poem and I felt, as I was writing it, somewhere between prose and poetry. The inspiration behind the poem is expressed in the last line, “Let our Love guide the star”. When my wife and I were yet to find security in our relationship, when the height of intensity in our Love for each other coincided with the greatest insecurity from external events, I felt that what we were going through was not limited to us and our experience but was universal, and that elemental forces were at play. Furthermore, that the decisions we made, the faith we kept, influenced those forces. That they were watching us to see what we would do."' (Publication summary)

1 y separately published work icon Love's Best Songs : (Our Love's Song) Peter Stavropoulos , Sunita Devi Stavropoulos , Sydney : Peter Stavropoulos , 2020 24510197 2020 selected work poetry 'Selected poems by Peter and S. D. Stavropoulos. Peter and S. D. were married in 2005 and live in Sydney, Australia. S. D. is of Indian descent and Peter is Greek Australian. They met while S. D. was holidaying in Australia. Their poems are inspired by their love for each other and that other voice that commands them. They were brought together at a time of great personal trial and their meeting set about events that cannot be explained without them referencing the Bible. Their poems have been a source of comfort to them and a revelation. Their love for each other renews and grows each day. This selection has an equal number of poems from each poet, selected alternately to complement each other. Honest and heartfelt. A compliment of complements'  (Publication summary)
