Penny Pepper’s recent memoir, First in the World Somewhere, launched at The Royal Festival Hall, London. It charts an extraordinary life in the indie-punk music scene from Thatcher’s brutal 80s to Blair’s Brit Pop 90s.
As a poet, Penny performs across the UK and her first poetry collection, Come Home Alive, came out on Burning Eye Books in September 2018. She also wrote the taboo-breaking book Desires Reborn. In 2013 she won a Creative Futures Literary Award.
