Culinary Poems / Poemas cocinados Ana Pascual-Zurriaga

In Culinary Poems, Ana Pascual Zurriaga embarks on her own existential journey as a poet and as a woman poet: through the word and through her pictorial art (her watercolors and socarrats). The materiality of the plastic arts reminds us of the natural elements, organic and inorganic, that are part of our humanity... These poems, brief and seemingly simple, refer to the most profound and complex aspect of human beings: their spirit and their carnality. In short, her well-constructed, culinary poems, nurture like a good stew made of words, metaphors, and images, selected with love. From the Prologue by Rolando Pérez, author of The Electric Comedy (Cool Grove).
