Aimee Nezhukumatathil Pořadí knih (chronologicky)

From the New York Times bestselling author of World of Wonders, a lyrical book of short essays about food offering a banquet of tastes, smells, memories, associations, and little-known facts about nature In Bite by Bite, poet and essayist Aimee Nezhukumatathil explores the way food and drink evokes our associations and remembrances - a subtext or layering, a flavor tinged with joy, shame, exuberance, grief, desire, or nostalgia. Here, Nezhukumatathil restores some of our astonishment and wonder about food through her encounter with a range of foods and food traditions. From shave ice to lumpia, mangoes to pecans, rambutan to vanilla, she investigates how food marks our experiences and identities; the boundaries between heritage and memory; and the ethics and environmental pressures around gathering and consuming food. Bite by Bite offers a rich and textured kaleidoscope of vignettes and visions into the world of food and nature, drawn together by intimate and funny personal reflections and Fumi Nakamura's gorgeous imagery and illustration.

Featuring original poetry, this reprint includes an insightful interview titled "Our Wholeness, Our Togetherness," published by The Margins. The collection explores themes of connection and nature through the lens of two distinct gardens, offering a rich tapestry of emotions and reflections. Readers can expect a blend of lyrical beauty and thought-provoking dialogue that enhances the poetic experience.

"From beloved, award-winning poet Aimee Nezhukumatathil comes a debut work of nonfiction--a collection of essays about the natural world, and the way its inhabitants can teach, support, and inspire us"--
