Homesicknesses

I explore how women's bodies reflect homesicknesses — the gendered social and physical illnesses that result from the production of home.

It is well we should be reverent in their presence and homesick for them — but a thousand homesicknesses cannot put up what Carlyle called "my own four walls".

Our yearnings are homesicknesses for heaven ; our sighings are for God, just as children that cry themselves asleep away from home, and sob in their slumber, know not that they sob for their parents.
