Summary: REVIEW QUOTES
Review: Since 1975, Curbstone Press has published works by a most unique group of writers: political activists, revolutionaries, guerrilla combatants, as well as ordinary working people, from the U.S., Latin America, and throughout the world. What all share is an affinity for that place "where art and politics intersect." Unique among poetry anthologies, POETRY LIKE BREAD contains works by poets whose imaginations are political. These are poets whose works are united in a desire for a world where human needs are met and justice is pursued.

"POETRY LIKE BREAD is an engrossing, readable, and highly passionate poetry anthology...It gives us poetry that sustains, that nourishes, and that is available to all." --Poetry Flash

"These works demonstrate with eloquence that the task of poetry-and all literature-is to challenge us, to illuminate our world and our lives, to force us to examine that which we take for granted and to act in solidarity for something new, to 'give name to the nameless so it can be thought.'" --The Nation

"...engrossing, readable, and highly passionate poetry." --Bloomsbury Review
