Iambic Cafe: Complicated chocolate

Wednesday, February 14, 2007

It seems right that on Valentine's Day I should come upon this article about the reasons to seek out free trade chocolate.

I'm a writer and an eater and believe we should spend at least as much time learning where our food comes from as poets do placing commas.

And...check out my Really Random Garden blog, mostly in bloom during the growing season...

Now available: The Earth's Kitchen, a tasty chapbook of food poetry from Leaf Press. I'll be reading from this at Planet Earth Poetry on May 6.
