Penelope Allen

I'm an internationally published poet who's finally taken the plunge into publishing my collection of connected villanelles. It took years of people urging me to do so but I felt I needed a theme.

My passions include - travel - photography - history - bridges - music - acquiring original art - my red pick-up truck Homer. The biggest surprise in my life is that people appreciate my poetry enough to pay me for the right to publish it! Egads! Oh yeah, I've actually managed to survive being a mother too.
