About Irma Ilustre, Manheim Township

Irma Ilustre is a writer, runner and raiser (of children, not so much plants). Her writings are infused with the sweat and tears of an over-the-hill mother runner’s race to make the world better before passing it down to her children. Her work has been previously published in The BeZine and in the anthology, “We Will Not Be Silenced.”  Currently, Irma is cultivating grace, gratitude, and gumption to increase her community involvement in civic duty, civil discourse, and the civilization of children and adults.  Her poetry and other writings, running endeavors, and parenting adventures can be found on her blog.
