about this author
Allyson Shaw lives in London where she knits, brews beer and writes while trying not to lose her Californian-by-way-of-the-Midwest accent.
An award-winning poet, she is author of The Bon-bon and Love Token, a Powell’s poetry best-seller. Her work has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and her poems have been selected for awards by Pulitzer Prize winners John Ashbery and Charles Simic. Much of her fiction and poetry has appeared in anthologies and literary journals, including the National Gallery Publication Tiger Seen on Shaftsbury Avenue. She has recently worked in collaboration with the artist Edith Abeyta. She has taught writing at Long Beach City College and received her MFA from the University of California, Irvine.
