Book Description
"After framing the genre in this way, Dr. Lowney's book raises the essential question, conversion to what? The faith preached on talk shows is based on the principles of the Recovery Movement, among whose tenets are that care for one's self is the highest virtue and that psychological wounds that endure from childhood into adulthood create troublesome and addictive behaviors or "codependency." The only "cure" is to join a therapeutic 12-step group."--BOOK JACKET. "Baring Our Souls probes the roots of the genre in the religion of recovery, and holds both up to the scrutiny of sociological inquiry. This will be a welcome supplementary text in courses in social problems, media, and civil religion."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
Undressing was born from the memories that were stored in a corner away from my memory. It was the never forgotten absence who took me out of the lethargy of absent words, who reminded me that the heart can love without forgetting whims of youth. More than a decade has passed since I was absent from myself, I lost myself among other people's verses forgetting those that I had stored in my soul. Today, after regaining the momentum of living, I resumed this journey of prose with meaning. To summarize, without giving up my soul, I invite you to navigate over each letter of this love book. If you are there, hiding your crowded feelings, your lost truth, do not be afraid to bare your soul. Come and live each of these poems as if they were yours.
