The new anthology The Hungry Ear, food and poetry is out. As the blurb copy points out: "Food and poetry: in so many ways, a natural pairing, from prayers over bread to street vendor songs....And we all know food is more than food: it's identity and culture. Our days are marked by meals; our seasons are marked by celebrations. We plant in spring; harvest in fall. We labor over hot stoves; we treat ourselves to special meals out.

Poets featured in the anthology include: Elizabeth Bishop, Robert Frost, Allen Ginsberg, Langston Hughes, Frank O'Hara, Sharon Olds, Mary Oliver, Adrienne Rich, and Gertrude Stein
