Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) was an American Jewish writer, poet, and art collector who spent most of her life in France. Her body of work include Three Lives, Tender Buttons, The Making of Americans, and The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas. Not only was she an innovator in literature and a supporter of modern poetry and art, she was the friend and mentor of those who visited her at her now-famous home- Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Jean Cocteau, Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sherwood Anderson, and Guillaume Apollinaire.
Praise for Lifting Belly
"Often considered the central erotic work of Stein's middle period,
this love poem written to her longtime companion, Alice B. Toklas,
reveals a vulnerability and tenderness unexpected of one so famous
for caustic wit. Associative in structure, the work consists of
alternately cryptic and conversational fragments detailing a shared
domestic life. A very brief initial section observes the hardships
of gay estrangement from society, while the body of the work
applauds the decision to endure these for love's sake. Readers will
welcome an unusual view of Stein in this . . . work in which
"lifting belly"—signifying sexual union—comes to imply passionate
commitment to another and acceptance of oneself." —Publishers
