The Patron Saint Of Cauliflower

Elizabeth Cohen's Ambitious Newest Book Of Poems, The Patron Saint Of Cauliflower, Explores Both Safety And Danger; Twinning Domesticity With Apocalyptic Fantasies. In This Book Of Poems That Pairs The Love And Safety Of A Mother's Kitchen With The Dark And Impending Disasters That Inhabit Our World Today, Cohen Writes Of The Pure Musclerdquo; Of The Cabbage; The Stand-up Actrdquo; Of The Artichoke And Her Love Of Chocolate (itrsquo;s A Cowgirl Thingrdquo;). Yet The Whimsy Of Food Has A Darker Side Here, In Which Poems Parse The Despair Of Places Where There Is A Lack Of It And Ways We Live On A Planet That May Not, In Fact, Be Able To Sustain Us And Our Ways In The Long Run.
