In COOKING WITH THE TEXAS POETS LAUREATE, the editors are all members of Dr. Paul Ruffin’s 2014 graduate Editing/Publishing class, and they solicited recipes and food-related poetry and prose from all the Texas Poet Laureates of this millennia. (see photos for a listing of all participants).
It should come as no surprise that poets are often exceptionally fine cooks, savoring food the way they savor words and at the same time recognizing that just as a gathering of words does not necessarily mean a good poem, neither does a mixture of ingredients necessarily mean a good recipe. The result is a most unusual gathering of personalities equally comfortable with the spatula or the pen.
