Event Description

Margaret Owen Ruckert will talk on The Poetry of Food and read from her book You Deserve Dessert

From http://www.omargo.com.au/

Welcome to dessert in fact, fiction and fable. Poems and mini-stories fuel a tongue in-cheek ride across dessert country where cakes become characters.

Meet a trio of proper tarts, the beast of mudcake, a fruit cake feigning holiness, crime caramel, a suave Sacher Torte, a lemon cheesecake “hiding under a designer pseudonym”, rock cakes with their “sedimentary looks… compliments of cook” and many more. All these with concrete cupcakes and a latte at no extra charge.
