Pen Avey

Author/Illustrator

WELCOME!

I'm author/ illustrator Pen Avey - welcome to my website! Here you can read some of my poetry, view a few illustrations or find out what I've been up to.

 

My sweet spot is surreal humour, but I do have a serious side which tends to come out through my poetry. I came runner up in the 2024 Fenland Poet Laureate Awards and my poems have appeared in recent anthologies published by Patrician Press and Linen Press.

Praise & Reviews

"This book is about friends giving advice and sending advice to one another by letter. I liked the book because it was funny."

Will H's review in Primary Times

"An out of this solar system of an adventure? Check. One hysterical side kick who’s basically a Swiss Army knife with phobias and insecurities? Check. A main character who tells the story with a perfectly delivered deadpan humor? Check. Quirky, clever world building? Check."

Darby Karchut 's review on Goodreads
