Temptation by Water
These are poems that delve into the sensual with all its joy, pain, myth and reality. No one does it better than Diane Lockward.
Eve's Red Dress
"Cognizant of loss but always celebratory, Lockward's poems are irreverent, ravenous for the world, and unabashedly female. When. 'In Losing the Blues, ' she writes, 'I could burn / the hands off a man, ' you have no doubt that she is singing a true song." --- Kim Addonizio

What Feeds Us
Lockward explores the feminine mystique in her second full-length collection of sensual and imaginative poems.
Eat This Poem
A literary cookbook that celebrates food and poetry, two of life's essential ingredients. In the same way that salt seasons ingredients to bring out their flavors, poetry seasons our lives; when celebrated together, our everyday moments and meals are richer and more meaningful.

Eat This Poem opens us up to fresh ways of accessing poetry and lends new meaning to the foods we cook.
