Thin Places: Essays from in Between by Jordan Kisner

5.0

I heard Jordan read from her work in Charlottesville about four years ago and during that reading thought to myself, I cannot wait for this person to have a book. And now she does and it has lived up to my wild expectations! These essays are smart and honest, playful and wise, they weave observation and research with personal experience in ways that garnered insights, moments of pause and reflection. They are ordered in a way that creates stitches across the essays--even as they were written at separate times, for separate occasions, they feel cohesive, thoughtfully arranged. I can't wait for her next book, though I will wait happily, as I know good art requires heaps of time.
