Shiena Bowen was born in Glasgow in 1938 but moved to England at the age of eight. Married in 1959 and Mother to three daughters, her poetry writing has been a constant accompaniment to a busy life since then. A few of the poems in this blog have been self published or appeared in magazines or competitions.
The helpful criticism, support of family, friends and a creative writing group provided encouragement to bring this collection to the web.
Shiena’s poetry is often strongly visual and reflects her love of nature as well as her fascination with the changing face of relationships. Her poetry is expressed with clarity and honesty for readers to explore.
