Paper Path: My Own Tree of Musings

About the Book

“I long to gallivant across the earth, frolic through the countryside and open fields.” The first of many more works to come, Paper Path: My Own Tree of Musings is a collection of carefully polished, handcrafted poems hatched from the mind of a spirited young girl just barely out of her teens. It turns every day things–her cat, outer space, even bullying–into profound, thought-provoking acrostics, haikus, old high school works, and a special piece modeled after Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. Kelley dives deep into the spiritual roots that make her so strong, from direct Bible passages to her own creations. She provides an individual section that allows the reader to get an inside look into the author herself, but not in the way anyone is expecting!

About the Author

Alex Kelley is a writer whom no one ever expected to become a writer in the first place. Born and raised in 1994 in Boston, Massachusetts, she worked on Paper Path: My Own Tree of Musings for two whole years while attending and graduating from Cathedral High School. She’s got many more works to come, including an unrecorded songbook that hoards nearly every song she ever wrote while considering a career in music. But for now, it’s a collection of her poetry. When not writing, she can be found reading, watching movies, and listening to way too much pop music. You can find her on Facebook (“Alleycat Kelley”), Twitter (@penny_armstrong), and YouTube (AlexKelley).
