Publisher's Description
Thank you God for poetry For lines molded, refined like afternoon tea Thank you God for stanza and rhyme For order and depth and beauty sublime So begins this distinct collection of poetry, exploring universal themes of faith, dreams, nature, truth and beauty, love, and self-discovery. Lyrical and imaginative, these poems take the reader through a vibrant field of sunflowers, into the simple silence of a pebble, and within the fanciful dreams of nature. Discover the sound of the color of white, feel the loneliness of Jesus, and see the world through the kaleidoscope eyes of a child with autism. The author sculpts words with texture and rhyme to create poems at once eloquent, intimate, and accessible.

“This collection of delightful poems captures the author’s deep faith and keen sense of observation of the world about us. Whether she is describing the flight of a dove, the rise and fall of a wave, the life and devotion of St. Theresa or St. Mary, Mary Tarantini invites us to join her in her delight in the Holy One. This small volume graciously invites the reader to the same sense of joy and devotion.”
“Grace-filled and tender, Pilgrim is a delightful companion for the journey. Through lyrical observation of the natural world, this collection of poems-as-prayer invites readers to explore more deeply moments of solitude, strength, and humility, with a special attention to the feminine face of God. Mary Tarantini’s prose is the prayer so many need.”
“In Pilgrim, Mary Tarantini showcases some of her most breathtaking and deftly crafted poetry. As the manuscript’s name implies, this is a collection of unadorned, simple poems, as accessible as they are profound. Still, the poems here hold the power to surprise the reader. Tarantini deftly crafts lilting, sonorous verse with a breathtaking prosody and unique word choice. This collection is a treat for the reader, as it is simultaneously gorgeous and sincere.”
