Food Issue of The Poeming Pigeon Released by The Poetry Box

Shawn Aveningo of The Poetry Box is proud to announce the release of the latest issue of The Poeming Pigeon, just in time for the holidays!

Homer, The Poeming Pigeon mascot, has been hunting and pecking to gather the most delicious poetry for a new collection of poems from around the globe – all about food. Allow us to whet your appetite with an opening poem by Oregon Poet Laureate Emerita, Paulann Petersen, followed by a feast of verse that may not only make your mouth water, but your eyes well-up too. Food not only nourishes our body, it can feed our soul. What’s your favorite food? You just might find a poem about it inside this journal of poetry.
