Cati Porter‘s The Body, Like Bread is a marriage of Epicureanism and Eroticism, a dance betweenrenunciation and desire. One of her poems boldly proclaims, “Every PoemIs Not a Love Poem,” but that isn’t true of this collection. Everysingle poem in this collection explores desire, “the web-nest at thestem, the marble of it, glistening.”

–Shaindel Beers, author of A Brief History of Time and The Children’s War and Other Poems

These are aching poems, mouth-watering poems, thrumming with everyhunger the body can hold. These poems hold the meat and fruit and breadyou would find in a fever dream–sensual and satisfying and strange. With The Body, Like Bread, Cati Porter has delivered a breathtaking feast.
