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 proseby notable poets. Rachelle Parker is a Lyrical Storyteller. She is the author of “Together We Remember The Gazelle,” the winner of the Digging Press Chapbook Series. She has won acclaim in several distinctions including a prestigious Pushcart Prize nomination, selected first place in the Furious Flower Poetry Prize.
