“‘Five Devours’ is a short essay in five parts about need and food as a part of speech, about speech’s relationship to nourishment and hunger; the currency between eating and speaking, expending and consuming.”
A freeform essay touching upon bilabial plosives, food poverty in Gaskell’s North and South, the mouth as a vessel for snacks and words, funeral buffets, the circle of gluttons in Dante’s Inferno, and the ‘foody’ quality of poetic language.
Saddle stitched, printed green on white, 20 x 15 cm, 12 not numbered pages, Bergen 2022
