Over years of exhibiting paste-paper collages paired with her calligraphed poems, Pattie Palmer-Baker discovered a truth: people don’t just like poetry—they love it, often more than the artwork. She now devotes herself to writing. Widely published and twice nominated for the Pushcart Prize, she has earned multiple first-place awards. She is the author of The Color of Goodbye (Kelsay Press, 2021) and Five Fundamental Forces (Moon Path Press, 2023).
