Summary:
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.
