Using the threads of the liturgical hours of the day-matins, prime, lauds, etc. Mosby has woven a strikingly beautiful tapestry of lyrical poems. Her imagistic poem-prayers integrate the sensuality of the physical world with the transcendence of the spiritual world.
Mosby's Prime petition, for example, probes the nature of sights:
Hone my gaze
to the riches
of detail---
slight as the fur
on a bee's belly
or the veins, thin as breath,
lining a forgotten iris
translucent
as a wing---
rewards
the hasty eye
and anxious heart
do not recognize."
Lovingly and hauntingly crafted, Mosby's spiritual lyrics evoke the power and mystery of divine love. A worthy addition to all collections.
----Library Journal
An excellent volume of poems. Mosby keeps her poetry simple and short, but there is a world of expression in each one. She tends to write about the simpleness of existing in the world, day-to-day.
