Shub's Cooking

It's more than poetry, these are historical recipes that are viable, and from his mother's recipe box. Poems do not need forms, they need recipes, and Shelby Stephenson's poems cook. They inter-weave ingredients with metaphors to create delicious poems that entice our palates and our imaginations. Stephenson uses ingredients such as flour, sugar, butter, and eggs to bake enormous poetry cakes, cakes packed with memories and sensual flavors for all.
