Reading selected passages from Anywhere But Here, as well as current poetry that has contemporaries from across the literary world calling him a new "Beat" poet, though William labels his current work as a genre defying blend of styles

A quote from Ron Whitehead, U.S. National Lifetime Beat Poet Laureate:

“William Mullen is a mountain man, an authentic voice, the genuine article, 

the real deal, one of my favorite poets walking this blue green earth

Cookbook Book Group

For our gathering, we’ll be cooking from the cookbook : A generous meal : modern recipes for dinner by Christine Flynn.

"This will be a modern take on a traditional way of cooking, which highlights the usefulness and versatility of every day pantry items. The recipes will not be making exclusive use of pantry items, but will be using them as a springboard to creative, confident cooking. Recipe size will range from snacks to sides to entrees and desserts, and will be demarcated as such, with a suggested number of people typically ranging from 4-6. Helpful essays on sourcing, swaps and ingredient deep dives will be included. Vibrant photography, beautiful, dramatic scenes and mouth-watering food styling will make this book stand out, while approachable writing, instructions and ingredient lists will make it tremendously useful to cooks of all skill levels."-- Provided by publisher.

Don’t forget to bring your dishes and cutlery. We can’t wait to taste the fantastic dishes you’ll prepare and celebrate the joy of cooking together!

For our gathering, we’ll be cooking from the cookbook Cook it up : bold moves for family foods  and  Italian American forever : classic recipes for everything you want to eat by Alex Guarnaschelli and Ava Clark.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 75 family favorites get leveled up to be even bolder, saucier, cheesier, and crisper thanks to Iron Chef Alex Guarnaschelli and her highly opinionated chef-in-training daughter Ava!
Through seventy-five witty and informative recipes, Alex and Ava share a repertoire of dishes that define their modern family meals: bold flavored, comforting, satisfying, and always supremely delicious. Side by side, they cook their way through family favorites like Blueberry Pie from Alex’s mom, a legendary cookbook editor, and Nanny Ida’s Crisp Potato Latkes. Tips and notes offer great cooking advice for achieving the fluffiest frittatas (add water, never milk) and how to season and mix meatballs so they always stay juicy (spread the mixture up around the sides of the bowl and then season). There’s even a bonus recipe for dog biscuits, inspired by Alex and Ava’s family dog, Leon! (quoted from Food and Wine)

Bring a dish inspired by the cookbook to share with the group. It’s a great chance to taste new recipes, share your favorites, and connect with fellow food enthusiasts.

Don’t forget to bring your dishes and cutlery. We can’t wait to taste the fantastic dishes you’ll prepare and celebrate the joy of cooking together!
