About the event
Poems about Food: Nourishment, Comfort, and Connection
Food is more than just sustenance—it’s a language, a ritual, and a way to connect with ourselves and others.
In this 1.5-hour workshop, we’ll explore the poetry of food—how meals, ingredients, and shared culinary experiences can become rich metaphors for love, care, healing, and cultural identity.
Drawing inspiration from poets such as Li-Young Lee, Marjorie Evasco, Dorothea Grossman, and more, we’ll reflect on how food appears in poetry not just as fuel, but as a symbol of emotional nourishment. From the warmth of a home-cooked meal to the comfort of a shared snack, food represents far more than what’s on our plates.
Through poetic exercises and examples, we’ll create works that use food as a lens to explore healing, celebration, comfort, and memory.
