Bread: What We Break Together
Bread: What We Break Together

Sixteen writers. Three genres. One loaf, broken and shared. Bread is the oldest gift we offer one another, and in this anthology it opens a door into memory, faith, hunger, and laughter. From an alphabet of bread to an Iñupiaq kitchen where the donuts are fried in Crisco, from a daughter coaxing her mother to the beach with Cuban bread to an Easter loaf braided across generations, from a boy with a bum leg in a corner patisserie to a birthday party rescued by fairy bread, these poems, essays, and stories remember who fed us and whom we fed. Some are tender, some are funny, and some ask what it means to have enough. Bread: What We Break Together gathers work by writers in the United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore, Spain, and the Czech Republic, selected through the open call of the Garden of Neuro Institute, a New York nonprofit that provides spaces to cultivate voice, agency, and leadership. Featuring work by Alan Abrams, Beverly Cooper-Wiele, JD Del Rey, A. L. Fredine, Lisa Kosow, Low Kian Seh, Kirk Lumpkin, Robyn Lunn, John McCarthy, Scott Minar, Stefanie Morejon, Patricia H. Roth, Kimberly Smith, John Spudich, Aisa Warden, and Nick Westerman. Edited by Susan Brearley. Proceeds support the Garden of Neuro Institute's programs and scholarships for writers.
