Cooked-Up Poetry


Book Description

Poetry is a shortcut to literacy. This book captures the rhyme and rhythm of words. It is about feelings and emotions from the heart. It is about the soul. We feed the soul with poetry. It is about life as we experience multiculturalism in the melting pot of New York. It describes the flavor of words and beats as they occur on a daily basis in the metropolitan areas of the cities. Cooked-Up Poetry is about the different ways that people express themselves on a daily basis. It shows the essence of living by lining up passion with poetry. It shows us that we are one in the spirit and that we can learn from each other in spite of our different ways of living, caring, and sharing. This book celebrates cultures as being at the center of everything that we do.




A Collection of Poems


Book Description

CHERYL AINSWORTH MARTIN was born in Guyana. She immigrated to the United States of America a-fter becoming a teacher in her native land. She received her masters degree from Brooklyn College, at the City University of New York. She retired a-fter thirty-three years of service in the Public School System.

Education remains her number one priority. She believes that reading is fundamental, and that education is everybody's business.

Eat Joy


Book Description

Named a Best Cookbook of the Year by Martha Stewart Living "Magnificent illustrations add spirit to recipes and heartfelt narratives. Plan to buy two copies—one for you and one for your best foodie friend." —Taste of Home This collection of intimate, illustrated essays by some of America’s most well–regarded literary writers explores how comfort food can help us cope with dark times—be it the loss of a parent, the loneliness of a move, or the pain of heartache. Lev Grossman explains how he survived on “sweet, sour, spicy, salty, unabashedly gluey” General Tso’s tofu after his divorce. Carmen Maria Machado describes her growing pains as she learned to feed and care for herself during her twenties. Claire Messud tries to understand how her mother gave up dreams of being a lawyer to make “a dressed salad of tiny shrimp and avocado, followed by prune–stuffed pork tenderloin.” What makes each tale so moving is not only the deeply personal revelations from celebrated writers, but also the compassion and healing behind the story: the taste of hope. "If you've ever felt a deep, emotional connection to a recipe or been comforted by food during a dark time, you'll fall in love with these stories."—Martha Stewart Living “Eat Joy is the most lovely food essay book . . . This is the perfect gift." —Joy Wilson (Joy the Baker)




Furious Cooking


Book Description

By turns chic, romantic, sardonic, droll, seductive, and in your face, Maureen Seaton is a cornucopia of attitudes and styles, a street-smart, deeply talented woman who wryly contemplates the charades that the self and the world assume - and how hard it is to stay in focus the morning after. It gets very, very hot in Seaton's kitchen and in her poems. As this inventive and imaginative poet states, "Furious Cooking is a stew of accidents and incidents roiling across universes". Seaton creates curious and energetic juxtapositions; she revisits violence and assesses its damages. The poet/woman in the thick of this caldron instigates polarities and assumes the roles of inquisitor and heretic, perpetrator and child, painter and artifact, scientist and specimen. She careens circularly through the hypocrisies and atrocities of church and partner, established sanctioned realities, the seeming senseless death of loved ones in this life and long ago.
