Eat, Drink, and Be Merry: Poems About Food and Drink (Everyman's Library Pocket Poets Series)

All kinds of foods and beverages are laid out in these pages, along with picnics and banquets, intimate suppers and quiet dinners, noisy parties and public celebrations - in poems. Eating and drinking and the rituals that go with them are at least as important as loving in most people's lives, yet for every hundred anthologies of poems about love, hardly one is devoted to the pleasures of the table. This book abundantly remedies this deficiency.
