Description

KITCHENHEAT is a chapbook collection of poems by Ava Leavell Haymon, a poet widely published in national poetry journals. The images in these poems center on cooking -- Louisiana cooking, with plenty of red pepper & fresh garlic -- & on the disturbances & glories of a woman's life in an ordinary suburban house with children, husband, memory, change, old family stories, contemporary pressures, & an ominous past that seeks to repeat itself. The language crackles with anger, joy, & precisely observed detail. Energetic but accessible, the poems show ease & maturity in several poetic forms. "Written While Baking Easter Dragons," a wild sestina, asks, "What order of dragon/ rises on yeast/ & sweet butter? What mouth/ opens at dawn with the smell of bread?/ How much fear is baked into plain bread?" A character named Denmother "bought a red brick ranch-style/ & inside it she grew babies' bones/ from magic crystals."A handsome chapbook (cover illustration by Louisiana artist Jean B. Wattigny), luxuriously printed, retail price $6.00, available from MAUDE'S HEAD PRESS, 1952 Norfolk, Houston TX 77098 (713/528-6772).
