Potluck brings together a remarkable mix of poems about food – from abundance to starvation – from across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Well-known poets, novice writers and children write about food from every angle. It’s a collection to make you laugh, or cry, or ponder, or become angry.
The kaupapa at the heart of this book, like all Landing Press publications, is accessibility. These are poems for everyone.
Hope cake
Michele Powles
This is a poem about cake.
The way it rises, hopes,
stops grief for a moment, bakes
love back into the skin of folks.
