Synopsis

After sixty years of journal keeping Janet Shea decided to burn her diaries rather than leave them as a 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 Prayers of a Roadside Contemplative. Loosely constructed around the 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.
