Shuttle, Penelope (1947– ), poet and novelist, born in Staines, Middlesex. Her first volume of poetry was
The Orchard Upstairs (1980), and it was followed by several others, including
Adventures with My Horse (1988),
Taxing the Rain (1992), and
Selected Poems 1980– 1996 (1998). Her poetry is distinguished by a rich, sensuous, awareness of sexuality and the natural and animal world: her use of female imagery is arresting and celebratory. Her novels include
Wailing Monkey Embracing a Tree (1973). She has collaborated in several works with her husband, P.
Redgrove.
