Saporoso: Poems of Italian Food & Love is the latest poetry collection by Jennifer Barone, featuring original drawings by artist Lam Khong. Saporoso reads like a robust Italian dinner menu. Inspired by the ingredients of Italian cooking and her family roots in Naples, Italy - she explores the sensual nature of Italian culture, mythology, family, sex, and love through Italian food and its natural aphrodisiac qualities. As she states in one poem, it is no small thing to eat-through the act of making and sharing food, we discover the fundamental thread of our humanity, our connection to one another, and ultimately, an expression of love. Saporoso weaves the poet's sensual memories with religious, mythical, and historical reflections, illuminating the undeniable bond between food and love. This updated third edition from Feather Press includes a special section of her family recipes.
