This Transfigured Chapel of the Threads

Arts & Literature

“Saints and the interface between the mystical and the human are at the heart of Sarah Law’s poetry. In This Transfigured Chapel of the Threads, she steps back from the documented life of Thérèse of Lisieux and picks up phrases and ideas—the threads of the title—from her writings, to underpin these imagistic and philosophical poems. ‘I write what I want to believe’ says both the poet and the ventriloquized saint, in this very human, lucid book of contemplative and intriguing poems.”
