The Sight of Invisible Longing

<p><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>The Sight of Invisible Longing</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> 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</span><em style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> imperfection is the bread of fellowship</em><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)> and invites the reader on her journey to reconcile her past through rediscovering her sensuality reclaiming her voice and recovering her spiritual connection.</span></p>
