In Skipping Stones, Ryan writes about many things, long-dead saints, personal tragedy, everyday observations, and the nature of prayer. But what connects this collection is Ryan's desire for a transcendent experience. His vivid and story-driven poems create a secondary world for the reader to explore, worlds in which belief is possible and the divine looms large. For Ryan, ""the Christian poet, and storyteller as well, is like the blind man whom Christ touched,"" and poetry ""an invitation to deeper and stranger visions.""
