  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"?"
