Spilled from Outside the Heart

by Frederick Law Olmsted Academy South Students

A delicious anthology centered around food, memory, culture, and cuisine. Every sense is explored as students write about specific ingredients or fruits, memories of cooking and eating with parents, or dishes from childhood that remind them of home. Bite into an ode to mangos, a call to save endangered fish, and the sweet smell of cornbread.

— Simon Traub-Epstein, International Library of Young Authors

From the publisher: “This anthology holds poems, recipes, and essays that celebrate food and how food is central to care, culture, identity, memory, health, justice, and feelings. These pieces write toward the meaning of nourishment—to feed, to cherish, to grow.”
