Description
Like Salt for Bread is a sixteen poem creative thesis that explores the razorwire
balance of power and vulnerability. In some poems, the relationship seems
clearly defined by an aggressor or catalyst that threatens emotional and
sometimes physical violence. In the others, the balance shifts from the speaker to
another, alternates between one speaker and another, or even alters within the
speaker's consciousness. Regardless, each poem examines a moment that is not a
measure of time but a force that tends toward rotation- changes that occur
around the axes of authority and control. The resulting torque exposes
assumptions about long-standing myths, personal and popular.
