Anne Carson is a Canadian poet, professor, and translator, among her many identities. Her writing is spellbinding to me, and also intimidating - I think she is a genius, and have been collecting her various books of poetry, prose poetry, essays and other writings over the years. On this gloomy Tuesday, after an [...]
Well the evening was a success! Hurrah! Much fibrous plant-based nourishment was had by all. We started off with the Curried Split Pea Soup from Real Food Daily, which I think was my favourite out of all three recipes. I added some collard greens to it since I had them on [...]
