Description of the Book:
This book brings together three art forms – the art of making and consuming food, the art of loving and being loved, and the art of putting words together into poetry.
It contains 21 poems, poems on love, grief, mothers, collective violence, hope, romance, vulnerability and sunsets.
But mostly it contains food, unpacking these complex themes with the beads of food, binding them all together. As you go from one poem to the next, you will witness the poetess live through her mundane-everyday life and the philosophical questions of empathy and endearment.
She invites you to understand your own relationship with food, love, and grief - letting you come out of this experience with empowerment and admiration. Through her careful study on food and poetry – a one-of-a-kind feat, she lets you, the reader, find their own being.
But What is Grief? If Not love and Food
