Full Mouth

<p>Amid the many delicious feasts contained in <em>Full Mouth</em>-ranging from caviar and oysters to donuts and dumplings-you'll find the sweet improbable globes of oranges and the batter of funnel cakes wiggling across a lake of boiling oil expansive descriptions that insist on the transcendent experience that food can offer us. And what Eddy offers us here is a globe-trotting memory-packed omnivorous bounty of poems that interrogate appetite in all its forms. Through the full-mouth music of Eddy's language this book explores family intimacy what nourishes and sates and what it truly means to break bread.</p><p><br></p><p><strong> -Matt Donovan</strong> author of two collections of poetry-<em>Vellum </em>(Mariner 2007) and the chapbook <em>Rapture & the Big Bam</em> (Tupelo Press 2017)-as well as the collection of essays <em>A Cloud of Unusual Size and Shape: Meditations on Ruin and Redemption</em> (Trinity University Press 2016).
