“Bread is an unusually good thing to be curious about. A loaf can be ordinary enough to disappear into breakfast and distinctive enough to carry a family’s idea of home. Looking closely at it means looking at what people grow, how they spend fuel, who does the work, and what they consider worth sharing.”
― Austin Welsh-Graham, The Toasty Book of Bread: An Illustrated Guide to the World's Greatest Loaves

Elisabeth Borchers
“for us

us above the twelfth cloud
us above the body of the dead elephant
us above the greatly gifted nightingale
us above the brown bread”
― Elisabeth Borchers, Fish Magic: Selected Poems
