Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Lockward explores the feminine mystique in her second full-length collection of sensual and imaginative poems. As they consider the various ways in which we are nourished or not nourished, these poems are, as Kim Addonizio said of Lockward's previous collection, Eve's Red Dress, "irreverent, ravenous for the world, and unabashedly female."

Winner of the Quentin R. Howard Poetry Prize

From the Inside Flap
In this brimming collection Diane Lockward's considerable wit engages both what is askew and awry and what to a lesser eye might seem to be standing up straight. She never takes you where you expect to go--that is part of her talent and her sassy wisdom. She is an original and a delight.
---Baron Wormser

What Feeds Us is sometimes humorous and sometimes heartbreaking. Diane Lockward's language is both plain-spoken and rich, lush. This is a wonderful book that might not nourish your body but certainly will nourish your heart.
---Thomas Lux

In these sparkling poems, Diane Lockward takes life as it comes and finds nourishment in it all: succulence of the peach, redolence of the pear, the "green grape of sorrow." I love these poems for their craft, sensuality and energy. Like high-wire acts of language and imagination, they almost leap in the air and come down again on the wire, balancing between witty and dark, personal and invented, idea and emotion.
---Patricia Fargnoli
