Prayers of A Roadside Contemplative

By Janet Shea

After sixty years of journal keeping Janet Sheadecided to burn her diaries rather than leave them asa legacy to her children and grandchildren. Before she burned her journals, though, she culled them for the bounty of prayers that were woven throughout, marking and lifting passages of her own life's journey, her own convictions and contradictions, transforming decades of chosen words into the poems that constitute Prayersof a Roadside Contemplative. Loosely constructed aroundthe framework of the Catholic Mass, Prayers of a Roadside Contemplative offers poems of faith and lack of faith, love, loss and the enduring love of family, all informed and underscored by the poet's unique and embracing manifestation of her Catholicism.
