Thin Places & Sacred Spaces: A Poetry Anthology

In this important and wide-ranging new anthology with contributions by over 150 contemporary poets, readers are invited to reflect on and experience the poetry of 'thin places'.

The anthology embraces and expands the concept of thin places and sacred spaces, including: Sacred LocationsSacred NatureSacred ArchitectureSacred Times & Holy HoursThe Thin Veil Between Life & DeathThe Holy UnexpectedThin Places in Art, Poetry & Language
If you have ever felt the touch of eternity in nature or sacred architecture; at specific times of the day or year; in stillness, movement, art, silence or surprise - this collection is for you.
