Tending the Light

Poetry comes in many forms, carries many messages. For poet Mary Beth Magee, poetry provides a voice she can use to spread the word of faith, family and friends. In these pages, you'll find a variety of poetic forms and an assortment of approaches toward sharing light in the world. As the Mississippi Poetry Society 2025 Poet of the Year, Magee was challenged to create a book of poetry to celebrate her selection. This book is the result. Enjoy the journey!
