Palm Leaves: An Anthology of Ghanaian Poets

The Palm Tree holds great significance in the African culture. As sustenance, it provides food and drink. It provides shade from the sun; its roots are firmly implanted. The leaves can be used medicinally, eaten at times and used in making thatches that cover the roofs of homes.

But as endurable as it is, in parts of Ghanaian ethno-perspectives, the palm tree and its leaves symbolize "unity" and "creativity". Drawing from these, we titled this anthology.

Three poets, crafting their creative writing from a variety of sources; three poets, passing along some of the age old wisdom, symbolic of the ancient palm tree.
