Pennisi has full-filled a long held goal for one of her lifelong passions. The 81 year old Plant City resident has published a second book of poetry compiled from hundreds of verses she has penned through the years. The oldest of five sisters, she helped her large Italian family with chores and childcare. Steiner said she started writing poetry at age 13 when she won a school poetry contest and began submitting entries to her school newspaper. The Pensacola native's first poem, "The Rusty Clock," was selected to be among the Children's Album of Poetry Archives. She won several contests and appeared on television. She worked as a stenographer at a U.S.O. Club and an operator with Southern Bell Telephone. Steiner continued writing poems as a wife and mother raising four children. Her family moved frequently because of her husband Hank Steiner's career in the U.S. Navy and later in the trucking business. Angelina was a member of the Florida Writer's Association. She enjoys sharing poems with staff and friends at the Plant City Senior Center, where she volunteers twice a week. Regular activities include playing dominoes, reading, attending church and singing gospel songs with her friends. She feels blessed to live near her four children and three grandchildren. Her advice to readers: "Set a good example for children because they look up to their parents and adults who care for them. Try Being nice and cordial at all times. Treat others as you would like them to treat you."ver menos
