Her poems have been broadcast, widely anthologised, published online and in a range of magazines, including Magma, Orbis, The North, Poetry News, Little Mslexia, Strix, The Frogmore Papers, The Journal and Blithe Spirit. Many of her poems have been successful in competitions. Fokkina was awarded the Sonnet Prize in the 2012 Ware Poets Open Poetry Competition.
