"Our wise old Church," he said then, "has discovered that if you
will act as if you believed belief will be granted to you: if you
pray with doubt, but pray with sincerity, your doubt will be
dispelled: if you will surround yourself to the beauty of that
liturgy the power of which over the human spirit has been proved by
the experience of the ages, peace will descend upon you. The
distance that separates you from faith is no greater than the
thickness of a cigarette paper."

In The Art of Touch: Prose and Poetry from the Pandemic and Beyond,
the unique voices of 39 of some of the most creative thinkers of
our times have been brought together to consider the impact of one
of our six main senses: touch. Psychologists, healers, massage
therapists, academics, creative writers and others reflect on or
tell personal stories about what it means to be able to touch, or
to have to go without it—as so many did and still do because of
the pandemic; how transmissions such as texting may impede
opportunities for touch while those like Zoom may make it possible
for people who otherwise might be left behind to be "in touch."
From the experience of touching beloved animals, to the
lifechanging ways in which books and performances can touch us,
virtually all aspects of touch are acknowledged in these pages.
