Philippa Drake

I am Philippa Drake aka The Aspergerational Poet.

I started to write poetry at eight years old. I was referred to as "the scribe" and the journey continued from there. I speak several different languages fluently, English, French and Italian.

Growing up in Glasgow I studied languages joining a local writers group and explored freelance journalism with several Scottish newspapers before channelling my creativity into original contemplative poetry.

Drawing from experience of several different jobs helped me on the road to becoming a fully fledged poet!

I had a video created for me a couple of years ago by Carbury Films in which I read some excerpts from three of my poems at https://www.theaspergerationalpoet-info.uk/
