Gastromythology

By Jessica Manack

Jessica Manack's Gastromythology is a meditation on how the ways we nourish - or fail to nourish - one another can form an origin story. From enjoying it, to shunning it, to becoming it, food is something with which modern girls and women have a complex relationship, all of which is explored unflinchingly in this volume. Through artfully-crafted verse in a variety of forms, Manack takes the reader from the awakenings of sexuality, to the microbiome of a mother's body, to the disorienting culinary landscape of a new country, all the while pondering the ways a person feeds, and is fed by, their landscape.
