review 1: So, it turns out that I like poetry...especially if it is about food. I particularly liked the poems about blackberries and strawberries, and I couldn't help but smile at the ones about bacon. I did not particularly enjoy the poems about seafood, or alcohol, but that may be due to a lack, on my part, of appreciation for the inspiration for these poems.I'm quite surprised to find that I rather enjoyed this book, it was a very interesting collection.
review 2: This book made me hungry! Hungry to eat, hungry to read, hungry to write. Kevin Young has put together a wide-ranging, eclectic collection with something for all tastes. His ordering is brilliant, and I could find no slant or bias in style in terms of the poems he picked. They range all over in time, in st... moreyle, in poet, in place. The common denominator is food, and food is lyrically described, made into metaphor, used as a launching pad into story and memory. I loved nearly every poem, and there were 300 pages of them. How delightful to end with Li-Young Lee.An exquisite, delicious read. Bravo. less
