The Safety Of Objects
On the surface, material objects are just that. Inanimate things that can be seen, touched, smelled, heard, tasted and sometimes all five. However, us humans have a way of associating meaning to even the most ordinary-seeming of items, from allergy-inducing grass blades to delectable candy and everything in between. Some objects bring us all-encompassing comfort, while others bring us undeniable distress. The saying one person’s trash is another person’s treasure certainly rings true here. Whether you are a chocoholic or a coffee aficionado, this unique collection of poetry belongs on your bookshelf.

The One You Can Never Compete Against
I wrote this poem about when I saw my crush walk in with his girlfriend one night at work. She was perfect, not a hair out of place or a makeup smudge. I knew right then, among other reasons, that I could never compete with her. Not that I wanted to break them up but I knew even if I had a chance that he would choose her every time.

My First Children's Book
I wrote this book while I was working in daycare. It was the height of cold and flu season and I heard my co-teacher say, "Ew! Don't Eat Your Boogers!" and I thought, "You'll turn green." I could feel a story brewing and by the end of the week I had a rough draft. Then I sat on it for a bit. I took a writing course and at the end we had to submit either a novella, a chapter of a book, or a children's story. I sent in my story and got really good feedback and that I should publish it. I tried a few places but no luck. So, I read it to our school age room (4's and 5's) and they liked it. Then I heard someone say, "I want that book." So, I published it. If it weren't for the kids liking the story, I may never had had the courage to publish it.

Love Unrequited
Another poem about love unrequited. I can still remember who this poem was about and all the things they were going through at the time. I thought I could be the one to fix it all, if only I would be noticed. Looking back, it all worked out. There were too many differences and he was deeply in love with someone else anyway. We would have crashed and burned out. Still, as a teenager when I wrote this, my tortured feelings meant everything.

Literature & Fiction
“Shadow of Soul” takes the reader on an emotive pilgrimage of the human experience that isn’t often discussed. Through the art of dark poetic storytelling, Carrie Lowrance awakens one’s psyche to a wide spectrum of suppressed emotion, from rage to anguish and everything in between. By book’s end, the reader will get to know the entirety of their soul and wholeheartedly embrace it, darkness and all. Most importantly, this collection of poignant poems teaches us that one’s shadow isn’t an aspect of themselves that they should fear. Beauty and pain reside in every facet of this journey called life.

Crush
I remember writing this about someone I had a serious crush on. Out of all the "mistakes" I've made in bad relationships and experiences in unrequited love, I hold this person dear. Why? Because even after he found out about my feelings, he still treated me with kindness and respect. Looking back, in the end, we would have been all wrong for each other. Now we are both happily married to other people so it all worked out.
The Dark Early Years
Many of these poems were written in my teens through my mid-adult life. I can still remember staying up late after everyone else went to sleep, writing in my notebooks. Some of these poems were written when I was very young (early to late teens) when I knew nothing about life or love. Some were written in my late teens to mid-twenties when I was dealing with typical young adult stuff-love, breakups, life, etc. All I had to do was open my notebook and it was as if I cut myself to bleed. My thoughts and emotions would just spill out. I'm so glad I published them years later and I hope others will fins comfort and healing in them.

A Poem About Coffee
I love coffee. Iced or hot. Flavored or not. However, it must have creamer in it. This poem is an ode to all the ways we wake up with our favorite cup of joe every morning.
Our Feline Friends
I love cats and have owned several throughout the years. When I was writing this poem, I was thinking of how to creatively describe a cat.
The Lighter Side Of Poetry
After writing Lithium Dreams and Melancholy Sunrise, my first book of dark poetry, I wanted to focus on the lighter side of my writing. I had ten notebooks full of poetry over the years that was collecting dust on the shelf so I had a lot to work with. I went through and chose the lighter ones and decided to compile them into a book. Ironically, many of the poems are about things (snowflakes, chocolate, grass, etc) so I decided to call the book The Safety Of Objects.
