Palmade Poiēmas: For This Is My Handiwork | Ebook Bundle

This collection was originally released on November 1, 2023, as a limited edition print chapbook.

This updated collection features new cover art, one exclusive new poem, and a free e-book bundle titled “Self-Publishing a Poetry E-Chapbook for a Niche Community,” which details what I learned one year post release as a self-published author. 

When I tell people I write inspirational poetry, they frequently ask me two questions: What do you want to encourage others to do? Do you have a book that I can read to get inspired?

On a micro level, my goal for this project is to joyfully respond "Yes!" to questions from colleagues and community members about what I do while also providing a complex network of writing that ties the everyday to the muse.

Through her love for archaic language and esoteric meanings, Sienna concretely and didactically explores her musings as a Poiētēs, in her 31 poem debut.

While chronicling her poetic genesis—this Ars Poetica collection articulates what it means to be inspired, and in succession, to inspire—resulting in the presentable workmanship [Poiēma] of her hands.

This project is funded in part by a grant from the North Carolina Arts Council, a state agency through The Pitt County Arts Council at Emerge.
