  abstract: Calgary for rural life on a farm in Saskatchewan, she planned to replace cooking and teaching with poetry and prose. But her next adventure didn't quite work out that way. Food trickled into her poems, her essays, her fiction. And water poured into her property in both Saskatchewan and Calgary during two devastating floods. Bread and Water uses lyrical prose to examine those two fundamental elements of sustenance, and to probe the essential questions on how to live a life. Hobsbawn-Smith uses food to explore the hungers of the human soul, wilder hungers that loiter beyond cravings for love. She kneads themes of floods and place, grief and loss, the commonalities of refugees and Canadians through common tastes in food, cooking methods, grandmothers and mentors, the politics of local and sustainable food, parenting, male privilege in the restaurant world and the challenges of aging gracefully. Praise for Bread & Water "Written with heart and intelligence, Bread & Water: Essays is continually entertaining and rewarding. The tone, self-aware, curious, a little vulnerable, is at once individual and communal and creates a winning humility perfectly suited to the essays' explorative nature.
