Prayers Like Shoes
Poetry. African American Studies. "Ruth Forman's wisdom, humor and grace brighten every page of PRAYERS LIKE SHOES. Here are the cadences of a woman's true speech rising into a poetry of deep love and warning, loss and survival, building toward a scriptural lyric that leads the reader through the darkness of our times and into an opening of necessary recognition and gratitude. I heard her beautiful voice on every page" Carolyn Forche. "In PRAYERS LIKE SHOES the brilliant Ruth Forman has topped herself. This is what Forman does best: brings us to the heart of all that matters and introduces us to ourselves" Junot Diaz."

Meditation on Prayers Like Shoes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Ruth Forman's Prayers Like Shoes appears, at first, to be a lovely, simply written book of poetry but becomes simply beautiful. The unfolding of the story and the emotional tide of the words leave the reader feeling washed and cleaned and tucked safely in your bed. Her work makes you feel innocent all over again and wishing on falling stars. Yes, buy it for your children, your students, your friends who need prayers. Simply beautiful.
