About the book
Winner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Poetry, ***Some Are Always Hungry*** chronicles a family’s wartime survival, immigration, and heirloom trauma through the lens of food, or the lack thereof. Through the vehicle of recipe, butchery, and dinner table poems, the collection negotiates the myriad ways diasporic communities comfort and name themselves in other nations, as well as the ways cuisine is inextricably linked to occupation, transmission, and survival. Dwelling on the personal as much as the historical, ***Some Are Always Hungry*** traces the lineage of the speaker’s place in history and diaspora through mythmaking and cooking, which is to say, conjuring.
