Lowry's poems and wordplay witness daily life, from the mundane to the sublime. Moments of joy, suffering, daily routine, and profound insight are seen through an eye of humor and wit. Underlying these verses are a longing for the simplicity of life but also the wisdom of life. As in her collection of short stories that precedes these poems, Blessed and Then Some, Lowry walks her spiritual journey in many forms, from conversations with God, to contemplating the loss of loved ones and friends. She shows us God's hand through her relationships, her environment, and life's challenges, inspiring us to see our own truths. Poems and Prayers is a collection of intimate poems we can enjoy for their questions, frankness, and their wisdom.
