Publisher's Synopsis
The Sight of Invisible Longing explores the shattering and remaking of identity following the end of a long marriage. If a woman is no longer wife or primary caretaker of her children, who is she and where does she belong in this world? Her dreams of flight share both a sense of the untethered and a desire to live free of traditional roles and expectations. In these linked poems and collages, Braden exposes the raw wound of her grief, recognizing that imperfection is the bread of fellowship, and invites the reader on her journey to reconcile her past through rediscovering her sensuality, reclaiming her voice and recovering her spiritual connection.
