Poet Tree Vol I: prose, lyrics & thoughts: Volume 1

The writings you find in this book were created and collected as part of the “POET TREE” concept originally mastered in Palm Springs, at the Palapas Artist Center starting in April 1994. The idea of an Artist Garden was to have a spiritual and creative venue where artistic energies could be expressed and shared with the public at local, national, and global events. Poetry, music, writing, dance, theater and creative art needed a public stage. A more perfect place at the foot of the San Jacinto Mountains, upon sacred ground, could not be found. The setting evolved into a place where visitors felt moved to leave notes attached to the tree branches, leaves, and yellow flowers growing on the restored Mexican Palo Verde tree. The collection of poems, notes, songs and tales from the hearts of those visiting the “Poet Tree” became so numerous I asked one of the artists to paint a mailbox and I placed it under the tree. Poets and would-be poets from all walks of life, of all ages, creeds, colors, and faiths started leaving notes and poems in the “Poet Tree Mailbox.” I share these prose, thoughts and lyrics with you now.
