Eat This Poem

<b>A literary cookbook that<i> </i>celebrates food and poetry, two of life's essential ingredients.</b><br><br>In the same way that salt seasons ingredients to bring out their flavors, poetry seasons our lives; when celebrated together, our everyday moments and meals are richer and more meaningful. The twenty-five inspiring poems in this book—from such poets as Marge Piercy, Louise Glück, Mark Strand, Mary Oliver, Billy Collins, Jane Hirshfield—are accompanied by seventy-five recipes that bring the richness of words to life in our kitchen, on our plate, and through our palate. <i>Eat This Poem</i> opens us up to fresh ways of accessing poetry and lends new meaning to the foods we cook.
