Poems by Maren C. Tirabassi

A New England clergywoman's poetry reflects on the people she has met in urban, suburban, and rural churches in the region during the past 20 years. Her poems are stories of people and events organized around the changing seasons of life, from birth through childhood, marriage, old age, and death.

"Tirabassi is that rare poet-preacher who doesn't give answers she doesn't have. Instead she draws words into pictures. If you love poems or the seasons or both, you will find your well filled by this collection."
- Dona Schaper, author of Stones in the Garden
