Adorned in a charming beige cloth cover, this reissue of Kate Lebo's whimsical love letter to poetry and pie-making features a new introduction by Lebo on commonplace books and six new illustrations by Jessica Bonin. This cliché-busting book explores facts--real and imagined--about pie with a practical punch. Kate Lebo is the author of Pie School: Lessons in Fruit, Flour and Butter (Sasquatch Books) and A Commonplace Book of Pie (Chin Music Press). Her essay "The Loudproof Room" appeared in New England Review and was also chosen for Best American Essays 2015. Other essays and poems have appeared in Best New Poets, Willow Springs, AGNI, The Rumpus, Ninth Letter, and Gastronomica, and she writes the "Cooking the Books" column for the Spokesman-Review. She lives in Spokane, Washington.
