Good Meat

Good Meat is a collection of mostly observational poems that revolve around food ? more specifically, the varying complex relationships we have with the things we eat. In these poems, food feeds both disease and celebration, sometimes in the same breath. Whether we are eating out of necessity or pure desire, these poems have something to say about our most internal ? and often inexplicable ? impulses.
