| Summary | "Poems from the Inner Life" by Lizzie Doten is a collection of spiritual poetry written in the mid-19th century. This work explores themes of inner reflection, spiritual experiences, and communion with the unseen world, reinforcing the tent of Modern Spiritualism that was prevalent during that era. Through her verses, Doten seeks to convey her personal encounters with divine inspiration and the truths gleaned from her connection with higher realms. At the start of this collection, the author introduces herself and her motivations for writing the poems that follow. She reflects on her spiritual journey and the divine influences that have guided her, emphasizing that her poetry emerges from deep personal experiences of sorrow and revelation. The opening poem, "The Prayer of the Sorrowing," encapsulates her plea to God amid anguish, while "The Song of Truth" asserts her belief in an eternal spiritual presence that transcends earthly existence. Throughout the introduction, Doten sets the stage for the rest of her work by delving into the turmoil of human emotion paired with a yearning for higher understanding and connection to the divine.
