Why is there no poetry cookbook *anthology*? One is needed, and the
need is urgent.
Consequently, poets Nada Gordon, Kent Johnson, Hoa Nguyen, and Joe
Safdie have set forth to edit a cookbook of recipes, culinary stories, and
food poems.
Our selections will be made on the basis of the overall quality and
originality of the submissions, with special attention being given to
the gastronomical charm of the recipes. About 50 poets, along with their
recipes, anecdotes and poems, will be included. All proceeds (beyond
printing and publishing costs) will be donated to Food and Water, a
national political action organization/publisher that campaigns against
toxic food technologies such as food irradiation, pesticides, and
genetically modified organisms (GMO's).
We think this could be quite a successful book -- and a dinner party, so to
speak, gathered around a big table of poetic affection and filiation
(well, sort of). It will certainly be an unusual and tasty project!
The people we solicit will make up a majority of the contributors, but
if you're interested in this project, please tell us so by replying to
this e-mail address and we will send you the contributor guidelines as soon
as they're formulated. (This will be a leisurely project, and we'll
probably be collecting submissions through Thanksgiving of 2001).
Yours in nourishment and delectation,
Nada, Kent, Hoa and Joe
