Boston native Hannah Burr lives and works in southeast Michigan as a contemporary artist. She uses these and other prayers to relax and enjoy seismic shifts in her life. They’ve helped her remember, as she forgets repeatedly, that there are larger forces at work, gravity for example, of which she is a part. These prayers help her accept and tap into whatever that is. She is also the author of the first volume of Contemporary Prayers to Whatever Works; Help me; Do the Thing; and The Elements: A Love Letter to All Things Everywhere.
