Magazine celebrates food 
Bethel native and wife behind popular literary  journal 
By Jonnie Bassaro 
Special toTtheNews-Times 

In his latest book, "Teacher Man," Frank McCourt tells how he used food to  
lead high-school students in New York City into the study of poetry.  
Specifically, he had them bring cookbooks to school and read recipes aloud in 
 class.  
In his book, he recalls a student's reaction:  
"I know why you're doing it Mr. McCourt. Because they (recipes) look like  
poetry on the page and some of them read like poetry. I mean they're even better 
 than poetry because you can taste them. And, wow, the Italian recipes are 
pure  music"?"
