Product Description
First printing.
A thematic anthology which group poems by common subjects, poems "that interpret food and drink in a myriad of imaginative ways.
From Pablo Nerudas condimental odes ('Ode to Salt' and 'Ode to an Onion') to Langston Hughes 'I, Too, Sing America,' sustenance and libations play shifting and diverse roles throughout.
It's fascinating to read Natasha Trethewey ('Invocation, 1926') and Charles Simic ('Watermelons'), Gary Soto ('The Plums Heart'), Martn Espada ('Coca-Cola and Coco Fro'), and works by poets of the past and to see how the poems diverge and converge.
