When Peggy Trojan was seventy-seven years old, she took a poetry class for seniors. One assignment was “A day I will never forget.” She wrote about the day when World War II ended, and it became her first published poem. Now ninety-three years old, she has continued to write poetry and is the award-winning author of two full collections and eight chapbooks.
