She pairs chefs and poets-Julia Child and Gertrude Stein, Poppy Cannon and Frank O'Hara, Vertamae Smart-Grosvenor and Harryette Mullen-to argue that each converts eating into an aesthetic opportunity that has the power to impact how people consume. In this way, Cassarino reveals the modern cookbook not just as a literary counterpart to contemporary poetry but also as vital to the literature and art occurring around it. From Futurist cookbooks to fast food lyrics, from Gullah recipes to Eat Art, she reminds us that global foodscapes are connected to aesthetic movements in literature and art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Stacie Cassarino is an American poet and teaches in the English department at UCLA.
