Back to Grace is a collection of spiritual poems (both rhyming and free verse) that resonate with themes of peace, journey, and looking beyond the earthly body to the spirit.
The author doesn't introduce the poems or give context to them, which allows you to interpret the meaning on your own. If you're more religious, you can easily find meaning in many of them; if you're not religious, you can approach them from more of a spiritual inspiration standpoint. As a reader, I liked this freedom to think deeply about what the poems meant to me. While the language used to craft the poems is lyrical and lovely, the verses evoke feelings more than an intellectual need to parse specific lines and phrases.
I would recommend 'Back to Grace' to readers who are looking for gentle poems of peace and inspiration that also deal with the topic of spirituality. I would probably enjoy these poems daily as a positive start to each morning.
