SUMMARY:Aimee Nezhukumatathil
DESCRIPTION:Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle —  Bite by Bite: Nourishments & Jamborees by Aimee Nezhukumatathil \nFrom the New York Times bestselling author of World of Wonders\, a lyrical book of short essays about food\, offering a banquet of tastes\, smells\, memories\, associations\, and marvelous curiosities from nature. In Bite by Bite\, poet and essayist Aimee Nezhukumatathil explores the way food and drink evoke our associations and remembrances—a subtext or layering\, a flavor tinged with joy\, shame\, exuberance\, grief\, desire\, or nostalgia.  \nNezhukumatathil restores our astonishment and wonder about food through her encounters with a range of foods and food traditions. From shave ice to lumpia\, mangoes to pecans\, rambutan to vanilla\, she investigates how food marks our experiences and identities and explores the boundaries between heritage and memory.  \nBite by Bite offers a rich and textured kaleidoscope of vignettes and visions into the world of food and nature\, drawn together by intimate and humorous personal reflections\, with Fumi Nakamura’s gorgeous imagery and illustration.  \nAimee Nezhukumatathil is the author of Night Owl\, a poetry collection\, the book of food essays Bite By Bite: Nourishments and Jamborees\, and the New York Times best-selling illustrated collection of nature essays\, World of Wonders: In Praise of Fireflies\, Whale Sharks & Other Astonishments. She has also written four previous poetry collections including Oceanic and At The Drive-in Volcano. Her most recent chapbook is Lace & Pyrite\, a collaboration of epistolary garden poems with the poet Ross Gay. Honors include a poetry fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts\, the Pushcart Prize\, a Mississippi Arts Council grant\, NAAEE’s 2024 Pepe Marcos-Iga Award for Innovation in Environmental Education\, and being named a Guggenheim Fellow in poetry. For a decade\, she served as the poetry editor for Orion and Sierra magazines. A professor of English and Creative Writing for over twenty five years\, she also serves as a firefly guide for Mississippi State Parks.
