Trader in hungers,
she grew strong
And everything that could be eaten, was eaten
She was bricks, words, skin, bread.
She was fire, milk, the road, the shade.
Her roof stretched wide across the city.
In her doorway people embraced.
The moon grew thinner and thinner watching over the wastelands of her abundance
Heart's Hunger
Heart’s Hunger spans thirty years of Karen Press’s writing, including love poems, historical-political poems, lyrics, satires and poems of place. Press’s poems, precise and generous, are often concerned with close observation of people, and the places that embrace or refuse them.
