Editors Jason Lee Brown and Shanie Latham selected fifty-four poems by fifty-one poets, happily including Denise Duhamel, Jack Bedell, Mira Rosenthal, Martha Silano, Julian Stannard, Charles Harper Webb, and others. With all poets singing together, we have a rainbow of words--alive, nourishing, rich--that clearly define the range and power of the once humble doughnut. Poetry and confection make for a delicious marriage. And who knew we'd live to see sugar, fat, and dough connected to the divine?
