ST. LOUIS, MO, March 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — In Beverly Stock\u2019s newly released collection of poetry, \u201cThe Prayerful Poet: Found Poems in Hymns of the Past,\u201d she engages readers with a voice that is thoughtful, stirring and full of hope. Throughout the verses, Stock brings a new spirit and refreshed meaning to the original hymnal message while maintaining the traditional value and reverence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Prayerful Poet\u201d is her first published collection of faith-based poetry. She combines her adaptations with the time-honored hymnal lyrics and finds new meaning in traditional songs of worship. \u201cThe poetry I found with these hymns,\u201d said Stock, \u201coften summarizes, embellishes and gives additional significance to lyrics written hundred of years ago, doubling its context.\u201d Found poetry is created by taking words, phrases or often whole passages from other sources and reframing them, thus imparting new meaning. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cReading traditional hymns,\u201d said Stock, \u201coffered me a harbor of relaxation and meditation, as well as an opportunity to renew my appreciation of faith-based messages. Each poem gave me a sense of union with faith and peace regardless of life\u2019s distractions.\u201d All hymns that are referenced in \u201cThe Prayerful Poet\u201d originate in the public domain.<\/p>\n

Ultimately, Stock\u2019s work is a mixture of rhyme and elegiac laments that will bring readers a hopeful perspective regardless of the stress of everyday life. In addition, Beverly Stock\u2019s poetry may remind readers of classical hymns that may have been enjoyed but long since been forgotten. \u00a0<\/p>\n
