Summary:

Suffused with pain and power, Minnie Bruce Pratt's poetry is as evocative of the swamps and streets of the American south as it is of the emotional lives of those too often forced into the margins of society. Vivid, lush, and intensely honest, these poems capture the rough edges of the world and force us to pay attention.

The Dirt She Ate features thirteen new poems as well as selections from Minnie Bruce Pratt's previous collections of poetry -- The Sound of One Fork (1981); We Say We Love Each Other (1985); Crime Against Nature (1990).
