A connoisseur of literary classics, Peggy Butler began writing at the age of 10. It was Langston Hughes’ metaphoric poem “What Happens to a Dream Deferred,” that fueled her love of the written word. A freelance writer since 1989, Butler has written for various magazines and Internet publications including Impact Press, TimBook Tu, and The Black World Today. Moreover, Butler writes news, features, sports and entertainment articles, as well as commentaries and humor pieces.
