It is also, more broadly, about invisible landscapes-places of the heart that linger long after they have disappeared from the world outside. In these ten brief tales and one novella-length intimate drama, Susan Krieger takes us on a series of adventures in vision, a journey both inward and to various parts of the country. We travel with her as she goes birdwatching before sunrise in the New Mexico desert, learns to walk with a white cane, revisits an old love, returns to a summer camp of her youth, and reflects on the nature of blindness and sight. Krieger's touching memoir explores the ways that outer landscapes may change and sight may be lost, but inner visions persist, giving meaning, jarring the senses with a very different picture than what appears before the eyes. This book will reward both the general reader and those interested in disability studies, feminist ethnography, and lesbian studies. 606 $aAging 606 $aFeminists$vBiography 606 $aLesbian couples$xFamily relationships 606 $aLesbians$zCalifornia$vBiography 606 $aVision disorders 615 0$aAging. 615 0$aFeminists 615 0$aLesbian couples$xFamily relationships. 615 0$aLesbians 615 0$aVision disorders. 676 $a306.76/63/092 700 $aKrieger$b Susan$0899088 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964806203321 996 $aThings no longer there$94366750 997 $aUNINA
