[New-Poetry] fingerlicking lit

[Anny Ballardini]

That poor Ronald Johnson didn't go anywhere with his ARK but got some money with his recipe books... at least for a while.
too bad I cannot cook, might pick up a course one of these days...
one of my students one day showed up with an entire cake for me, no doubt he became my favorite right there.

the article continues with some other authors and mentions Chocolat, the movie wasn't too bad, with Amélie and Tinguely among the best out of France.

  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"?"
