Take Me to the Thin Places

By Melissa Ann Lauricella Bergstrom

This fourth collection of poems by Melissa Ann Lauricella Bergstrom explores what it feels like to walk among the thin places, those physical and emotional spaces that gift us with both heartbreak and pleasure, and where we can touch the sacred and commune more deeply with our true selves. Continuing to draw inspiration from the vast natural world as a means of mapping out and making meaning out of our own expansive inner world, these poems lead a reader over the landscape of day to day life, where borders blur, and past and future blend with the present moment to reveal a space in which all is holy. How do we navigate our lives when the heart breaks? How can our most profound desires and losses both connect and part us with others, both alive and dead? What does it mean to own our stories, be brave enough to sit with pain, and remain open to hope, especially when nothing is promised? Amidst grief, how do we make room for the ecstasy of what it is to be alive and breathing in this very moment?
