Meet the Author

Priscilla Nash is the creator of Poetry in the Park, an outdoor writing workshop that fosters introspection and community. Priscilla is a recent graduate from the Marriage and Family Therapy program at The Chicago School and often integrates her therapeutic knowledge into her writing prompts. You can stay in touch with her through her socials @poemsbypriscilla on tik tok, instagram, and youtube. 

Priscilla's first publication, Pondering Poet, is inspired by the attendees of her poetry workshops. Many attendees have responded to her creative prompts with overwhelming praise and brave vulnerability. The book's dedication "for you" is a tribute to everyone who has supported Priscilla's pursuits through social media or otherwise, making it possible for her to continue pursuing her artistic passions. The cover image is a reference to the tree where the first several Poetry in the Park workshops were held. The tree became significant to Priscilla after she discovered Lake Hollywood Park one day with her best friend, Lena. The miraculous day is documented in Priscilla's vlog "TREE CLIMBERS," which you can watch below.
