April 17, 2015 - PRLog -- (Arlington, Virginia) New from Richer Resources Publications, Joys of the Table: An Anthology of Culinary Verse includes almost 100 poems from 75 poets, a number of whom have also contributed recipes to accompany their poems. The anthology is edited by poet Sally Zakariya, whose chapbooks Arithmetic and Insectomania were also published by Richer Resources.

"Poetry and food just seem to go together, each one a mix of often unexpected ingredients that calls on creativity and nurtures body and brain alike," writes Zakariya in the book's Introduction. "The poets I know have a range of relationships with food, from the whimsical to the ascetic to the seriously gourmet, but we all write," she continues. "And we all eat."

Poets, poetry lovers, and food lovers alike will find a banquet of insightful, lyrical, and evocative poems that explore our complex feelings about the food we eat, from our earliest memories to our closing days, with love and travel and fun in between.

"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are," wrote the French gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin. The poems - and recipes - in this book have a lot to tell. Divided into five sections - Amuse Bouche, What We Eat, Food and Love, Geography of Food, and Food and Mortality - Joys of the Table serves up a richly varied feast that will delight the cook as well as the reader.

Joys of the Table: An Anthology of Culinary Verse, 158 pages, ISBN 978-1-63464-036-7, is $18 from Richer Resources Publications. Order online, by email, or by fax or phone.
