PAULA VELOSO-BABADI

Paula Veloso Babadi is a poet and memoirist who has been writing since her first poem at age eight. Born in England to a Filipino Navy father and an English mother, she grew up between London, the American South, and, through marriage, an Iranian family. Those crossings of culture and faith shape her work.

 

Her books blend poetry, personal essay, and Scripture: Everywhere Hope: Encouraging Moments in Prose and Poetry; Everywhere Love: Love’s Highway Home; and the memoir Purple Flower on My Nose: A Memoir of Love, Laughter, and Letting Go.

 

A member of the North Florida Poetry Hub, a chapter of the Florida State Poets Association, and the Catholic Writers Guild, Paula lives in Northeast Florida with her husband, her chickens, and her dog, Xena, close to her adult children and grandchildren.
