Join us next week at the Winter Park Library!
ACA Mentoring Artist-in-Residence Crystal Wilkinson, author of bestselling culinary memoir, Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts: Stories and Recipes from Five Generations of Black Cooks presentation @ Winter Park Library May 23, 2024, 6-7 PM. Wilkinson’s newly published Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts explores the hidden legacy of Black Appalachians through powerful storytelling and comforting recipes. Former poet laureate of Kentucky, and O. Henry Prize-winning writer, Wilkinson tells the stories of five generations of Black women who settled in Appalachia and made a life, a legacy, and a cuisine. “Praisesong for the Kitchen Ghosts is an ode to food, yes, but it’s also a brilliant ode to ancestors, to history, to survival. Wilkinson has made a deeply necessary book about how we cook, how we eat, and most importantly, how we love. With stories that make you ache and recipes that make you heal, this book is an essential new addition to any food lover’s collection. I didn’t just read this book, I devoured it.”—Ada Limón, 24th Poet Laureate of the United States. This event is free and open to the public, ADA accessible. https://lnkd.in/ekKVX74f #writers #memoir #poetry #recipes #hybrid #culinarymemoir #artistresidency #winterparklibrary #newbook #florida #literaryevent #atlanticcenterforthearts #cooks #cooking #cuisine #biography
