This book is a collection of poems that span over thirty years. They are poems that have both immediacy and patience, charting the author's immersion in the spiritual-political search for inner and outer peace. It's a collection that chronicles the author's growth as a developing voice, reflecting a deep love and connection with the earth. It tells of the yearning for community and its struggles once it is found. These are poems which have nurtured the author over the span of his pilgrimage by means of providing sanctuary; as the walkers were provided sanctuary; taught with tenderness and sometimes harshness. Some poems are peace prayers; prophetic revelations for a hopeful tomorrow and tender reminisces of our bond with the Sacred earth. They are a collection of poems about a specific pilgrimage, yet with the hope of shared universality. They are the author's offering in the search for beauty, wonder and community in the world seldom being disappointed in that search. | Peace Pilgrimage by Paul Gessler, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
