"In Barbara Goldberg's marvelous collection, "The Royal Baker's Daughter," cooking itself stands as a metaphor for devotion to the fruits of the earth and to the creation of human hopes. Never didactic and always scrupulous, these poems stand as a kind of testimony to the transformative alchemy of both cuisine and the natural world. Barbara Goldberg understands that, at times, only a sense of fable allows us to fully understand our own shifting, incomprehensible lives. Within and against the constellation of the family, with special resonance given to the presiding presence of the father, these poems show us how we sometimes choose to devour--over and over again, often relishing their texture--those very wounds that have made us who we are and what we have come to believe."--David St. John, Felix Pollak Prize judge

These poems, at once elegant and earthy, reveal the inner workings of the human psyche and show us that sometimes the best defense against terror is making mischief. The Royal Baker's Daughter was raised on a diet of stone soup and the occasional leftover royal treat. This leaves her with an appetite for authenticity. With nothing but her two deft hands to guide her, she embarks on a journey into the dark forest, "where sticks and stones and absolutes reign and nothing, even sin, is original.""Fated to be fickle in food as in love. Not one flavor that she craves but a lick of this, of that. Sauerkraut and caraway, pickled beets, mutton, and leeks. This does not even touch upon the subject of sweets, for her nonnegotiable, as for others, faith. She takes her lumps of sugar straight. Or with crushed poppy seed to make a paste. Dusted over dumplings, powdered over cake. Never having swilled mother's milk, nutmeg in her coffee, black." - excerpt from "Fortune's Darling" [copyright] The Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System. All rights are reserved
