Under the Lemon Tree

Under the Lemon Tree is beyond just a book of poetry, it is an experience of such. Under the Lemon Tree serves as a collection of poetry reflecting on what it means to experience relations through others, as a human being, simply seeking to be seeked in all manners of ways. This book finds diversity in its experience and sees growth, fall, and emotionally liminal spaces in between each and every poem. Each chapter sees itself better understanding the process of creating an "us", given and received by different individuals, this is a mutually personal experience for just about any human on earth and as such allows us all to get plentiful amounts of introspect from it. Under the Lemon Tree reminds us what it means to be scared of love, and what it feels like to be so completely convinced that speaking phrases like "I love you" means you've already been doomed. Under the Lemon Tree is a piece of empathy for all who may read it, and reminds you, of just how far you've come. Under the Lemon Tree is a place to sit in peace right after the violent storm that has terrorized your old frames of mind, under the lemon tree you find yourself, remembering, honestly, painfully, to sonder; a way to empathize with oneself and all those who made it so difficult to do so.
