Kissing the Bread
New and Selected Poems, 1969-1999
[Her] poems startle on every page: at times they bring your heart to your throat.—Peter Dale Scott
This stunning new collection documents some thirty years of Sandra Gilbert's career as a poet, from her sometimes fearful, sometimes exuberant early visions, through her feminist awakenings and the explorations of memory and desire, to a range of recent poems mapping the many meanings of grief, survival, and even regeneration.
"Prepare to be dazzled and delighted by the richly imaginative assemblage of poems in Kissing the Bread. Like Gilbert's pioneering volumes of criticism, this collection sets a standard by which her contemporaries are sure to be judged."—Women's Review of Books
"There's gist and pith, heartbreak and hilarity in these richly patterned poems by one of America's finest poets."—Virginia Quarterly Review
"Sandra Gilbert's skill and power increase with each book."—Carolyn Kizer
Sandra M. Gilbert's most recent poetry collection is Blood Pressure. She teaches at the University of California, Davis.
