About
Peggy Perdue lives in her own world, where she spends as much time possible thinking, imagines everything is waaaayyyy easier than we’re making it, and doesn’t care if people think her ideas are naïve.
She has a degree in English-Journalism and has worked for Chattanooga Times Free Press, Portland Monthly, Willamette Week, and more.
In 2017/18, she was an Atheneum fellow in poetry at the Attic Institute of Arts and Letters in Portland, Oregon. Her poem “How to Do Anything Better” was selected for Abandoned Mine‘s inaugural online journal issue and published in its print anthology.
She has performed readings at bookstores alongside poet laureates, as well as at cafes with aspiring writers.
Born and raised in the Midwest, she attended high school and college in the South, and now lives with her family in the Pacific Northwest.
She writes an occasional email newsletter, Random Poetry Love Notes—short missives with inspiration and insights about the connections and purpose of everyday life.
Comfort is her debut poetry chapbook.
