Beskrivning
In this provocative collection, Kim Jensen gives voice to the struggle of those who seek love in a world saturated with brutality and aggression. The concise lyrics in ""Bread Alone"" condemn the violence in Iraq, Palestine, and Lebanon, while exploring the intimate consequences of these and other injustices. Darkly humorous, grotesque, sorrowful, outraged, and sometimes poignantly hopeful, Jensen's poems possess a strange beauty and remind us of the key purposes of poetry - to warn and to revive our sense of conscience and connection.

This powerful work reproduces the shock of the life that millions of people lead in silence, in darkness. These poems can wake up a rock. - Etel Adnan, author of Sitt Marie Rose
