Barron Pilgrim |
|
Born in a community known as Leaf, near Cleveland, Georgia, Barron Pilgrim attended White County High School and Truett-McConnell College in Cleveland. White County is a very beautiful area of scenic mountains and valleys in northeast Georgia. Barron now lives in Columbia, South Carolina, still near the foothills of the Appalachians, where he enjoys the Southern lifestyle and its colorful people. His first book, The Directions of Love, was a collection of romantic poems. His next book, When You Went Away, overflows with memories of love, loss and emotions we all experience. “Life is a series of partings,” says Barron. “Changes come along in everyone’s life for all sorts of reasons—from romance to death. This book reflects thoughts and feelings collected down through the past twenty years, which were torn from several notebooks.” His book, Love for Valentines Day and Always, is a “forever gift book” of love poems, with each page decorated as a greeting card. His numerous published books also include Miracles, Christmas Memories, and Where Was God? When I Needed Him. His newest book moves out of poetry and into a different genre. Obama — A Nation Divided is a candid commentary on problems related to the President, dangers of extremism, and difficulties foreseen for America.
