Paula Bonnell

Paula Bonnell began writing poems at 15, and continued while a college student, during her first career in financial services, then law school, and her 35 years practicing law in Boston. When her manuscript of Airs & Voices was selected by Mark Jarman for a Ciardi Prize (BkMk Press 2008), she discontinued the practice of law. Her poems have appeared in APR, The Hudson Review, Rattle, The Women's Review of Books, and dozens more; and in Message, her first collection; and in two chapbooks: Before the Alphabet, a story in free verse of a child’s kindergarten year; and in Tales Retold.
