Summary

** "The Man of Uz, and Other Poems" by L. H. Sigourney is a collection of mid-1800's poetry which focuses on sadness, fairness from a higher power, and the strength shown by Job. We see a retelling of Job's terrible experiences as he copes with loss, thinks about wealth, and holds on to thankfulness while he is suffering. Further examination is shown through Job and his friend's interactions, which looks at themes of friendship, loss, and searching for understanding. **
