About Eat This Poem: Food and poetry are two of life’s essential ingredients. In the same way salt seasons ingredients to bring out their flavor, poetry seasons our lives; when celebrated together, our everyday moments and meals are richer and more meaningful. Each of the twenty-five inspiring poems—from such poets as Marge Piercy, Louise Glück, Mark Strand, Mary Oliver, Billy Collins, Jane Hirshfield—are accompanied by seventy-five recipes that bring the richness of words to life in our kitchen, on our plate, and through our palate. Eat This Poem opens us up to fresh ways of accessing poetry and lends new meaning to the foods we cook.   Tranquility du Jour Savvy Sources Instagram Pinterest Facebook Twitter Website Goodreads Get the book: Amazon, IndieBound, Powell's Mentioned in the Podcast Literary City Guides Nicole's Wild Words Collective Tranquility du Jour Live Spring Edition {includes a 13-page Playbook, TranquiliT discount code, 1-hour video, Savvy Sources} 26 Ways to Celebrate Spring Social Media Eye candy on Instagram Pin along with me on Pinterest Let’s connect on Facebook Follow moi on Twitter Watch via YouTube Tranquility Tips + Tools Shop slow locally-made, eco-friendly fashion: TranquiliT Browse my 5 Books New to Tranquility du Jour?
