Love Nash. I wrote a piece on food poetry for the - brace yourself -
Oxford University Press Encyclopedia of American Food and Drink. Falls
trippingly from the tongue, no?
Also Food Music. Food Humor, too. Buncha others as well.
Out in September, they say. Biiiiig project with lots of people
contributing, many names you'll recognize from books, TV, newspapers,
magazines, etc..
Should be cool.
