DINNER POEMS

// For five months these poets meeting at their dinner table have paused to jot down ruminations and pondering more deeply have withdrawn to their bedroom to limn their dueling/mutual misunderstandings of the eternal questions of love coexistence and bodily presence while never forgetting to eat dinner their favorite meal. // This collaboration opens up what the everyday means to two people in love and what every day can be when opened up to the other. We need this. -Joe Hall author of The Devotional Poems // ...Dinner Poems forces us to ask: what is collaborative writing as a genre? Moreover what is the bare minimum at which a genre can function and still be recognized as itself? -Holly Melgard & Joey Yearous-Algozin from the Introduction to Dinner Poems // This is the first book in Bon Aire Projects' Lovers series.
