Penelope Shuttle has lived in Cornwall since 1970, and is the widow of the poet Peter Redgrove. Her retrospective, Unsent: New & Selected Poems 1980-2012, drew on ten collections published over three decades plus new work, from The Orchard Upstairs (1980) to Sandgrain and Hour-glass (2010). This was followed by Will you walk a little faster? (2017). Her 2006 collection Redgrove's Wife was shortlisted for both the Forward Prize and T.S. Eliot Prize. She has also published five novels, and is co-author with Peter Redgrove of two prose works, The Wise Wound and Alchemy for Women. She lives in Falmouth.
