Here, in "Open-mouthed", the reader can find a rich a la carte menu
of poems, some al dente, others al fresco, succulent morsels
plucked from hedgerows and kitchens at home and abroad. But why
have four poets from Devon come together to create a collection of
poems about food, some of them light-hearted, some more serious?
For the pleasure of it, no doubt, but also to raise money for the
Dartington 'Ways With Words' literary festival, specifically in
order to help fund a bursary scheme enabling young students to
attend the festival, an experience with the potential to broaden
their interests and awaken their intellects. This culinary gang of
four also hopes to make these poems available to a wider audience,
particularly now that the resurgent interest in local food is
flavour of the month. Combining this with poetry seems an obvious
step forward, to educate and enliven our tastes. "Alphabet Soup";
"Elvers"; "Eating Maize"; "The Meat Commission"; "Mushy Peas";
"Stuffing Balls"; "Curried Squirrel"; "The Hostess Trolley" and
"Feeding the Dolls" are just a few of the sixty-four poems.
