A Food for Thought workshop led by Rachelle Parker
We when write about food, we remember
ourselves, our family, our legacy. In this workshop,
participants will take a seat at a table to consider
the dishes, recipes and noshes that have kept us full
from our first bite. Reading will include poems and prose
by notable poets.
