Barron Pilgrim The Ocean Poet |
|
Born in a community called Leaf, near Cleveland, Georgia, Barron Pilgrim attended White County High School and Truett-McConnell College in Cleveland. White County is a beautiful area of scenic mountains and valleys in northeast Georgia. Barron now lives in Columbia, South Carolina. He also loves to spend time on the coast, walking the beach and enjoying the ocean that inspires much of his poetry—including his latest books, Ocean People, Gone with the Ocean, and The Greatest Poetry of the World. Barron’s books are a unique form of “art in words” — he is the only writer who uses this style. His poems are written with pictures of emotions. His first book, The Directions of Love, was a collection of romantic poems. Next was When You Went Away, about 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.”
