Welcome to the Writing Under the Palm Tree, Poetry in Process Series. We’re honored by your presence.

This week, there are two posts: the usual free post and my (first!) paywalled post on poetry. The poem “Threads” and the accompanying essay are deeply personal to me and my crafting process.


This is Writing Under the Palm Tree’s first paid post! I put a lot of mental energy into this creative work, and I’ve strung together many hours to bring you these insights.
