Vicky Allen

Vicky Allen lives on the south east coast of Scotland. The land, seascapes and rich heritage of story and folklore in Scotland are influential in her poetry.
Recent anthology “Reaching For Mercy” (Proost 2018) features her work, as does the 2019 Dove Tales anthology “Bridges Not Walls” and children’s poetry anthology “Are We In A Book” (Black Agnes Press 2019). She performed her spoken-word show “Wonder Lines” for the 2018 Edinburgh Book Fringe, with further performances taking place in 2019. She regularly participates in open mic and community poetry events. She has work published online and in print with Mslexia, Vox Poetica, The Writers Cafe, Bonnie’s Crew and the Scottish Centre for Geopoetics journal “Stravaig” amongst others. Vicky was the 2018 Faith/Unbelief poetry slam winner.
“Broken Things” is Vicky’s first poetry pamphlet.
