Complicated, heady, beautiful and brutal, grief is a thin place looks at the experience of grieving through unflinching eyes. Written in the ten-year aftermath of her brother's passing, Marie explores how her grief connects her to a place just beyond the realm of the real world - a thin place. These thin places, a Celtic Christian term, are often described as those mystical spaces where heaven and earth are closer. Whether spiritual or secular, we feel the magic in these spaces. We draw in our breath; we stand, sit, gape in awe, in reverie. We are moved by them. Often, we cannot explain why, but they reverberate in us - we feel them in our bones. The veil between this world and the beyond is momentarily shown to us, so delicately 'thin', that you could almost reach right through and grasp whatever is on the other side. If you have ever loved and lost, this little book of poems might provide you with a window into your very own thin place. May you find solace here.
