Overview

A sidewalk there is still stained with his blood. Through metered poetry and a focus on sound and image, Pilgrimages traces a journey to God and self-knowledge via the side streets, stumbles, and uncertainties of the human experience. The poems in this volume explore the difficulties and burdens of life, softened by the solace of faith. Despite moments of desperation and failure, there is endless hope and beauty found in divine love.
