Literary Nonfiction. United States Studies. Photography. With photograhs by Lad Strayer, DAILY BREAD was developed from a series of articles and photographs on homelessness in Lenawee County, Michigan, which ran in the Adrian Daily Telegram newspaper and received a Michigan Associated Press Editorial Association award. "DAILY BREAD is simultaneously a heart-breaking and heart-warming elegy to the poignancy and tragedy of the homeless. Burd's moving, lyrical prose poems and Strayer's stark and penetrating companion photos eloquently depict the nuances of pride, suffering, and fellowship of the severely impoverished among us. This book depicts how these individuals survive, not only by wearing their `good cheer like sorrow,' but also by facing each day as best they can"--Simone Yehuda.
