Summary

"Poems from the Inner Life" by Lizzie Doten is a compilation of spiritually-focused poems from the 1800s, that examines ideas of personal thought, spiritual happenings, and ties to mysterious forces, reflecting spiritualistic beliefs of the time. Doten uses her poems to communicate her own interactions with holy inspiration and the insights she received from her link to spiritual realms. In the introduction, the author sets the scene by describing her spiritual path and the godly forces that inspired her, explaining that her poems come from sorrowful and revealing life events. The first poem is a prayer to God for help and guidance amidst deep pain, while the second poem underscores her faith in an immortal spiritual being that goes beyond what we can see. Doten's opening paves the way for the rest of her work using struggles of human emotions and longing for ultimate understanding and connections.
