Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by
Kingsolver, Barbara,
Kingsolver, Camille
“Tracing the food year,
Kingsolver—with her characteristic candor,
poetry, and grace—brings us meditations on
asparagus, turkeys, tomatoes, and mulch as she
and her family try to eat locally as much as they
can. This is a distinct hybrid of The Omnivore’s
Dilemma, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walden.”
—Matt Plies, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland, OR |

Great American Prose Poems: From Poe to the Present
by
Lehman, David
Great American Prose Poems is both a celebration and a chronology of this poetic form, one that employs sentences rather than phrases. Lehman offers a history of the prose poem, which has both French and American origins, and presents a chronological selection of works by everyone from e.e. cummings to Frank O'Hara to Lydia Davis. An enjoyable, readable, interesting collection! |
