The Pilgrim Poet Collection

Faith is rarely a straight road.

Mary Grace van der Kroef writes from the messy middle of the spiritual journey: the doubt, the grief, the anger, the wonder, and the hard-won moments of grace. Honest, raw, and deeply human, The Pilgrim Poet Collection is a poetry series for anyone who has wrestled with the big questions of life, love, suffering, and meaning.

These are not polished answers. They are the questions themselves, turned into art.

The Branch that I Am
-26 poems of faith-

Poetry often resembles prayer. Both tell us of the beauty of creation; they seek answers to whys, hows, and shoulds. They are calls for justice and tears of pain, songs of love. They are records of daily life.

This collection of poems contains prayers, questions, and some answers. They record part of a journey. Faith is a journey that lasts a lifetime. It is ever growing, deepening, and widening. May all who read these poems find a safe place for questions, answers, and hope.

Note: The Branch That I Am contains some dark themes. If you require trigger warnings, please find them here.
