Selections from Blood, bread, and roses

"While Judy Grahn has been an essential figure in many movements and communities for over forty years—as a poet, lesbian/feminist activist, and major thinker about queer and women’s history and spirituality—her work has not always been read or recognized across these spheres. We present selections from one of her major out-of-print books, Blood, Bread, and Roses: How Menstruation Created the World, to bring this important work to a range of new readers. Accompanied by an interview conducted by co-editors Iemanjá Brown and Iris Marble Cushing, Judy Grahn: Selections from Blood, Bread, and Roses brings this important work of a poet’s scholarship back into the conversation."--Publisher's website (viewed 01/04/2016).
