“Shadow of Soul” takes the reader on an emotive pilgrimage of the human experience that isn’t often discussed. Through the art of dark poetic storytelling, Carrie Lowrance awakens one’s psyche to a wide spectrum of suppressed emotion, from rage to anguish and everything in between. By book’s end, the reader will get to know the entirety of their soul and wholeheartedly embrace it, darkness and all. Most importantly, this collection of poignant poems teaches us that one’s shadow isn’t an aspect of themselves that they should fear. Beauty and pain reside in every facet of this journey called life.
