Dancing With Nature: Poems About Food And Wine

In this newly translated collection of verse, Albanian poet, chef, and omnivore Landi Prendi writes of the foods that remind him of his homeland, family, and youth. He also writes of the foods that have sustained him on his life's journey from his birthplace in Divjake, Albania to his present home in the Philadelphia region. Writing from a perspective outside our culture of thoughtless consumption, Prendi reminds us of all the ways that food can enrich our lives by conjuring memories of the past as it fills our present with sensuous delight. These poems are a cornucopian celebration of cherries, cucumbers, steak, chocolate, fish, wine, mushrooms, okra, calamari, eggs, coffee and much, much more. Prendi's poems explore the relationship of these foods to the landscapes and people that produced them, and to the lives they sustain. A place at the table has been set for you. Don't miss out on this poetic feast!
