While College English does have literature-related articles, it does seem to lean towards pedagogy and comp/rhet scholarship. <BR/><BR/>So, there is still plenty of space to get those ideas out there in print EE. I would think of it this way: Having a special issue on the topic makes more people aware of interest in this area, thus making it more likely to get an article published about food/lit.k8https://www.blogger.com/profile/07547334819703279971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-8059696516382188872008-05-30T18:20:00.000-07:002008-05-30T18:20:00.000-07:00kermit: I've heard of Fisher; maybe I'll have time...kermit: I've heard of Fisher; maybe I'll have time to check her out. <BR/><BR/>phoenix: I've actually taught the Eve of St Agnes before in this class! I was thinking of possibly swapping it out, but you're right, lots of fun sensual food passages. Personally, I like it way better than Goblin Market, but they might pair well together to teach, eh?<BR/><BR/>meansomething: I love the Hass poem and I know someone who knows someone who got blackberries as a tattoo because of that poem. Very cool. Not relevant to food and lit, but still cool. I will check out all your other suggestions. <BR/><BR/>Renaissance Girl, why is the wine blue in the Hollander piece? I know some of the others you mention, but not all.<BR/><BR/>Wow, k8, I knew that this field was hot but hadn't realized how this train has already left the station. Not that I would be able to jump on it anyways, but it sounds like it's been brewing (heh heh) for quite a while. <BR/><BR/>EE, I responded again on your blog!

I was going to do my dissertation on that years ago -- and then I stopped and got scooped and now some College English issue that I've missed is on food and lit? I can't stand it!<BR/><BR/>Sisyphus!! I'm sorry I didn't make it to Foglandia. It was too much to get there. I have so little energy I poop out before any fun begins anyway. And I get totally overwhelmed (can we talk about crying in the bathroom at work?) so I don't know what made me think I'd be able to handle the drive up there. But I miss you! And you're not that far away anyway, are you? And you did get cheese. =)Earnest Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01947000435270263070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-51323999607711191232008-05-28T17:35:00.000-07:002008-05-28T17:35:00.000-07:00Candy Freak by Steve Almond is a fun book.

The March 2008 issue of College English is all about food writing and rhetoric of food. There is an article titled Books That Cook about a food lit course (I saw a conference presentation that came from it that was great). If you can't get the articles email me. I can send pdfs of the articles to you. Here is the url for the table of contents: http://www.ncte.org/pubs/journals/ce/contents/125133.htm<BR/><BR/>Of course, there's always Green Eggs and Ham. ;-)k8https://www.blogger.com/profile/07547334819703279971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-40707160644802370732008-05-28T16:16:00.000-07:002008-05-28T16:16:00.000-07:00"Eating Poetry," Mark Strand"Swell me a bowl with ..."Eating Poetry," Mark Strand<BR/>"Swell me a bowl with lusty wine," Ben Jonson<BR/>Various odes of Neruda<BR/>(a stretch, but) "Emperor of Ice Cream," Wallace Stevens<BR/>"Pomegranates," Kimberly Johnson<BR/>"Persimmons," Li-Young Lee<BR/>"Blue Wine," John HollanderRenaissance Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06243095907452011303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-28080783734663333882008-05-28T11:22:00.000-07:002008-05-28T11:22:00.000-07:00Not happy, not funny, but definitely worth conside...Not happy, not funny, but definitely worth considering: "A Small, Good Thing" by Raymond Carver.<BR/><BR/>Graphic narrative aka comic strip?: Lynda Barry has some amazing ones. I'm thinking of the one in "Big Ideas" where the woman keeps eating toast. Or the one in "Come Over Come Over" where Marlys and Maybonne prepare a birthday party for their working single mom using all these packaged 70's foods: "Jello 1-2-3" and German chocolate cake mix and orange Kool-aid.<BR/><BR/>Robert Frost, "Blueberries"<BR/>Robert Hass, "Meditation at Lagunitas" ("blackberry, blackberry, blackberry"--not really about eating, but about the way "the word is elegy to the thing it signifies")<BR/>Mona Van Duyn, "Homework" (about canning peaches)<BR/>And of course Christina Rossetti's "Goblin Market"!<BR/><BR/>Cool idea!
