between the lines on any stranger’s face, countless love stories to be told

There is, across the globe, an ever-growing disconnect. People everywhere are divided by borders and boundaries and walls—if not geographically, then certainly as they pertain to our convictions and the untamed country that is the human heart. Among so much dissonance, how attainable then is harmony? And where, at last, is it to be found?

In his debut collection of interconnected personal essays and poetry, Arthur Thomas Lee introduces us to myriads of individuals not unlike ourselves, people whose stories hold, between their lines, keys to greater compassion and understanding. To that end, Thin Places: Portraits, Prayers, and Liminal Grace takes us on a lyrical journey through which nature becomes our ever-present guide, difference gives way to deference, patchwork paths find purpose, the ordinary becomes extraordinary, and each stranger—fighting for light in the thick of understory—transforms into familiar lifelong companion. It is, at once, a heart-felt prayer, a bold beck and call for love in the face of deep division, and for greater measures of grace along the way—all while passing our time, our limited time, on this our liminal planet.

Description

Thin Places: Portraits, Prayers, and Liminal Grace, a debut collection of interconnected narrative essays and poems by Arthur Thomas Lee

The Celts called them “thin places.” It was their way of saying that heaven, in a particular moment or at a certain location, was close, that the veil between time and eternity was shrinking or had shrunk already. Or maybe it was never there to begin with. And what of those “thin faces,” those deeply etched guises fighting for light in the thick of understory, from whose eyes grace springs and from whose lips prayers rise like clarion calls for deeper connection, understanding, and love? So too, so too. So many scars. So many stories to tell. So many strangers yet to take in.

Both in the lines and between them, this collection of personal essays and poetry offers its readers the chance to connect with strangers not unlike themselves, and, in so doing, be filled anew with love, awe, and wonder.
