Able Muse - a review of poetry, prose and art - Winter 2013 (No. 16 - print edition)

Taste is a lyric meditation on one of our five senses. Structured as a series of "small bites," the book considers the ways that we ingest the world. Through flavorful explorations of the sweet, the sour, the salty, the bitter, and umami, Jehanne Dubrow reflects on the nature of taste.

A Book of Small Bites

Taste

Lindsay Lusby

Poetry. What if 100 contemporary American poets were sent individually selected vials of perfume, fragrances chosen to reflect the authors' voices, aesthetics, or writerly obsessions? What if each poet wrote something new in response? THE BOOK OF SCENTED THINGS collects the results of this strange, aromatic experiment: poems of longing and of childhood memory, poems of place and philosophy and politics, poems about the challenge of writing poems about perfume. This is an anthology whose words will linger on your pulse points long after even the base notes have faded. Contributors are Seth Abramson, Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz, James Arthur, Sarah Arvio, Beth Bachmann, Aaron Baker, Ned Balbo, Brian Barker, Rick Barot, Sandra Beasley, Nicky Beer, Erin Belieu, Elana Bell, Dan Bellm, Mark Bibbins, Mary Biddinger, Traci Brimhall, Brian Brodeur, Jericho Brown, Michelle Chan Brown, Stacey Lynn Brown, Lisa D.
