In Invisible Lines, the clinking of glass baby bottles lives alongside the moon that we can cut into wedges. Miriam Manglani grounds us in this world that impacts our bodies and senses, and then reminds us that we are more than flesh and bones. Her images are at once stark and familiar; we recognize our own reality in hers so we trust that she can pull a corner of the night. Reading these poems, I felt both recognized and inspired as Manglani shows us the invisible lines that link us to our parents, our children and our own sacred selves.
-Beth Thompson
In Invisible Lines, Miriam Manglani shares a testament to life's most vital connections: between lovers, parent and child, the self and the physical body, humans and the greater-than-human world. Using accessible language and clear imagery, Manglani shows how these tethers are ever-present, manifesting in traditional Jewish foods, the pains and joys of motherhood, and the sense of divinity when tree-climbing. Every poem, like a child's first words, expands the world with possibility / so much larger than them and reminds us to cradle the infinite stars we create.
-Sara Letourneau, Wild Gardens
