I Eat My Words, Poetry and Recipes Book Five by Sandra de Helen

"Sandra de Helen's new poetry cookbook, I Eat My Words, is a groundbreaking hybrid collection, executed with creativity, skill, and humor. In this romp through the worlds of poetry and mouth-watering recipes, the author has created a book that is practical, pleasing to the poetic sensibility, and downright fun to read." Sandra Anfang, poet, visual artist, and author of poetry collections Looking Glass Heart; Road Worrier: Poems of the Inner and Outer Landscape; and Xylem Highway "I Eat My Words is Sandra de Helen's love letter to every reader who enjoys preparing and eating good food and finds sustenance in well written poetry. The concept of alternating recipes with poems is delightfully satisfying as well as sensorially appealing. The only request I would ask of the publisher is to place a warning label on this collection's cover" DO NOT SHELVE THIS BOOK WITH YOUR OTHERS! KEEP IT CLOSE TO YOUR KITCHEN!" Renée Bess, author of five novels and Between a Rock and a Soft Place, a collection of her poems, short stories, and essays "[Sandra] de Helen's clever blend of poems and recipes invites the reader to the kitchen to reminisce about the comforts of food and the people we love to share it with. Her delectable home recipes served with a dash of humor evoke the warmth of a country girl turned vegetarian and a life well-lived." Cherie Gough, freelance journalist specializing in food and the people who make its journey to the table possible.
