Joey Tranchina says,
Years ago, I was in a graduate poetry workshop with a women who wrote poems drawn from recipes in her mother's Southern cookbooks. They were delicate and lyrical yet powerful and, as it turned out, unforgettable. That poet is Frances Mayes. A later version of that lyrical sensibility can be found in "Bella Tuscany."Joey Tranchina says,
