When the Sun Sails

Mary Rogers-Grantham is one of the most loved and admired poets in the State of Florida. When the Sun Sails is her fifth book of published poetry. She is especially adept at exploring the human heart and integrating it with the heart of the natural world. The following testimonials provide insights into the quality of her work:

"These poems are provocative and stimulating-asking questions but not revealing answers. Mary Rogers-Grantham presents an unexpected, sophisticated, and sensual look at life along Florida's Atlantic Coast."
- Joseph Cavanaugh, President of Florida State Poets Association

"Mary Rogers-Grantham is a fine observer of her surroundings-both the natural landscape and an interior world of emotions. Whether she is there to wait with the beach creatures at sunrise or stopped in a parking lot along a state road to capture a sunset, she records moments others might have missed. Her poems awaken a new way of seeing, and that-newness in the moment-is the greatest gift a poet can give."
- Dr. David B. Axelrod, Volusia County Poet Laureate
