The Wishbone Dress

Cassandra J. Bruner

An ode for (un)intentionally-hunted, antlered doe. Elegies voiced by a woman with eight eyes and web glands. The last confessions of a bound witch, waiting for the torch to drop. In Cassandra J. Bruner's The Wishbone Dress, these personas and others careen into, and cycle around, another larger narrative: a young femme's transition and her splintered path through wildernesses, both exterior and interior. Bruner's debut chapbook navigates the slippery terrain of gender, faith, illness, law, and loss, serving both an invitation and a declaration that, when reimagined, "the body learns its shape."
