Push Buttons and Stir Pots


Book Description

Bradley Koetting is an atavism. A thing - like the working cowboy, Nature, God or sex - which persists, though someone somewhere is always sounding its death knell. A poet, writing not to please a writing workshop or an inner circle or his own ego, but from a bald need to communicate experience. Communicating it bluntly, honestly. At the edge, there's always the possibility of falling off, a lacunal fall, to use one of the poet's phrases. But that fall, that abyss has something in common with the dark cloud of unknowing, described in the 14th century Christian mystical text of the same name. Having the courage to venture out beyond safety and into confusion, to live in that unknowing, what seemed to be a cloud is found to be full of light; the darkness shines.

Stirring the Pot with Benjamin Franklin


Book Description

In this remarkable work, Rae Katherine Eighmey presents Franklin's delight and experimentation with food throughout his life. At age sixteen, he began dabbling in vegetarianism. In his early twenties, citing the health benefits of water over alcohol, he convinced his printing-press colleagues to abandon their traditional breakfast of beer and bread for "water gruel," a kind of tasty porridge he enjoyed. Franklin is known for his scientific discoveries, including electricity and the lightning rod, and his curiosity and logical mind extended to the kitchen. He even conducted an electrical experiment to try to cook a turkey and installed a state-of-the-art oven for his beloved wife Deborah. Later in life, on his diplomatic missions--he lived fifteen years in England and nine in France--Franklin ate like a local. Eighmey discovers the meals served at his London home-away-from-home and analyzes his account books from Passy, France, for insights to his farm-to-fork diet there. Yet he also longed for American foods; Deborah, sent over favorites including cranberries, which amazed his London kitchen staff. He saw food as key to understanding the developing culture of the United States, penning essays presenting maize as the defining grain of America. Stirring the Pot with Benjamin Franklin conveys all of Franklin's culinary adventures, demonstrating that Franklin's love of food shaped not only his life but also the character of the young nation he helped build.

Fisher of Men


Book Description

Evocative of Charles Bukowski in its mix of rough-edged bravado and deep tenderness, Fisher of Men conveys the beauty and pain of a life lived in defiance of societal expectations, rooted in an unconventional faith. Alternately raucously funny, heartbreaking, luminous and deadly serious, Koetting's novel wrestles with the deep questions of faith: how it informs the way we live, the way we relate to others and the way we die.
