Welcome to The Fold

Let’s bring back the intricacy and delicacy of a handwritten note.

Tiny works of art, from me to you, and beyond…

With a culture of overflowing inboxes and the infinite opportunity to scroll through social media feeds… I offer you an invitation to rest, to read, and to respond.

Introducing The Fold - an annual subscription to receive little reminders of rest in your physical mailbox. These reminders will come in the form of an original poem written by hand, in calligraphy just for you.

Each month, members of The Fold will receive an original handwritten poem to read… and to share. Once you have enjoyed each piece, my hope is that you will pass along these poems in the included envelopes as love notes to your friends, relatives, colleagues, or strangers. Let us use these poetic works to remind others to root in rest, take a moment to feel, and enjoy the artistic mediums of poetry, calligraphy, and the handwritten word.

Receive a handwritten calligraphy poem delivered to your mailbox on a monthly basis.

An annual subscription includes:

  • 12 original works of art / calligraphy poems

  • 12 envelopes

Cost: A one-time payment of $125
*Payable by Venmo or PayPal

Cadence: Delivered to your mailbox, monthly

One year. A dozen original poems.

Explore the artistic mediums of poetry, calligraphy, and the handwritten word.
