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, winner of the American Book Award, 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.
