FOOD OF GODS AND STARVELINGS

By Grace Stone Coates

With the publication of Food of Gods and Starvelings: The Selected Poems of Grace Stone Coates, Drumlummon Institute of Helena, Montana, brings back into print the poetic works of a leading 20th-century writer of the American West. Edited by Lee Rostad and Rick Newby, the substantial collection showcases more than 200 of Coates’ “irresistible, poignant and authentic” poems.

Caroline Patterson, editor of Montana Women Writers: A Geography of the Heart, says of Food of Gods and Starvelings, “Like a twentieth-century Emily Dickinson, [Grace Stone Coates] writes of the world around her from the small town of Martinsdale, Montana, and her poetry is at once as sweeping and as precise as the prairie she lived on. With startling imagery and philosophical acuity, she explores the emotional landscape between men and women, mothers and daughters, small-town neighbors, and between a lonely woman and the landscape she lives in. Her voice rings clear, her eye is sharp, and her music is unerring.”

During her lifetime, Grace Stone Coates (1881-1976) published two critically acclaimed collections of poems, Mead and Mangel-Wurzel, and Portulacas in the Wheat, and the novel, Black Cherries. Food of Gods and Starvelings contains the two collections Coates published during her lifetime, plus more than seventy uncollected poems drawn from literary journals and the poet’s notebooks.
