PILGRIM is a collection of small wisdoms offered to illuminate the journey of life and to make sense, if possible, of the load that must be carried by all travellers.
Seeking the balance between light and its many shades of opposition is an eternal quest and PILGRIM utilises the forms of short free verse poetry combined with themed illustrations to break down the complexity of the journey and to provide simple guide-posts to help each pilgrim find their own path forward.
