The Munchies: A Collection of Food Haikus, by Mollie Williamson

Poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features. This collection of haikus was inspired by a love of food. The challenge and thrill of using the haiku form was to both simplify food as well as give them their own personalities. From the green crowns of broccoli to the sugar rush of caramel, this collection aims to give food a sense of presence in our everyday lives. These musings directly reflect how we interact with food, whether it be through a sense of enjoyment or avoidance. Mollie Williamson (she/her) attended Saint Mary's College of California double majoring in Art History and Women's Studies in 2013. She then received her Masters in Women's Studies from the University of Alabama in 2014. Her work has been featured in White Wall Review and Herstry among others. Mollie enjoys spending time with her family, fur babies, and drinking endless cups of tea.
