Morning Star, IN PREMIUM COLOR, is an inspirational collection of photography and poetry. Included in the book are free verse and short form poetry, consisting of haiku, tanka, haiga, tankart, tanka prose and tanka sequences. I've used my own photography, some of which I've digitally edited. Morning Star is the title given to our Blessed Mother in the Litany of Loreto. Just as the morning star announces the coming of the day, appearing in the sky and reflecting the light of the sun, our Blessed Mother, so strong and bright, shows us the way to her Son.
Mary Davila is one of those rare talents who writes both haiku and tanka, and is also an excellent photographer. Her haiga and tanka art are exquisite. I also love that she is not afraid to write about her faith. Her faith shines through in poetry that is uplifting, spiritual and full of empathy.

Davila shares her spiritual journey in Morning Star by employing images and words that effectively play off one another. She helps us to see beautiful stained glass windows, to hear the toll of a church bell, to feel the ambience of stars, and to ponder Life's questions and search for answers. A charming collection.
