                       Wednesday, March 29, 2017

  Mr. GAETZ. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to congratulate and honor 
Angelina M. Pennisi Steiner for her literary achievements. At the age 
of thirteen, her poem ``The Rusty Clock'' was selected to be included 
in the award-winning Children's Album of Poetry Archives. After 
submitting another poem, ``A Nightly Wish,'' Mrs. Steiner became the 
only person in her school to be included twice. In 2014, her first 
book, ``Chasing Dreams'' was published. Now, her second book, 
``Beautiful Words Coming My Way'' is being published and archived in 
the Library of Congress.
  Mrs. Steiner joined the Plant City Senior Center several years ago, 
where she shared her talents in weekly poetry readings. She became a 
member of the Florida Writer's Association, has been a guest at Winter 
Haven's ``Meet the Artist Event in the Park,'' and was the featured 
guest speaker at Bruton Memorial Library. Angelina recently 
participated in the 36th Annual Tampa Bay Senior Talent Showcase.
  A loving wife, and a mother of four children, Mrs. Steiner is 
inspired from everyday events, and has the talent to paint a beautiful 
picture through her poetry. Her rare talent and literary achievements 
must not go unrecognized. It makes me proud that a constituent of mine 
has achieved success in her literary endeavors.
