Penelope Wren
At 34, Penelope Wren is choosing to share work that has quietly carried me through the last decade. I’m an executive, a mother, and a late-blooming writer learning softer ways to live. These poems were written across years of reflection and repair. They are untrained, honest, and shaped by a stubborn hope for better days.
Through my words, I am confronting the darkness of my past, weaving pain and resilience into a tapestry of reflection and catharsis. My journey is one of reclaiming power, challenging societal expectations, and rewriting my own narrative.
Each poem in this collection is a step toward a less broken version of myself, seeking to transform survival into strength and fear into hope.
