Eating Crickets, Chicken Feet, and Fish Eyes — John Yau
1 RecommendationsThere’s not one way to eat sustainably. If you dig into your own culture, you’ll probably find traditional foods that are naturally in tune with the land - whether they make use of all parts of the animal, or indigenous varieties of corn or rice, or preservation techniques that don’t require a fridge. What traditional foods did you grow up with?
Today, Jane Z. sits down with award-winning poet and art critic John Yau, who curated the exhibit “Home Cooking,” now live at the LaiSun Keane Gallery in Boston until December 5. John Yau has published over 50 books of poetry, fiction, and art criticism. Born in Lynn, Massachusetts in 1950 to Chinese emigrants, Yau attended Bard College and earned an MFA from Brooklyn College in 1978. His first book of poetry, Crossing Canal Street, was published in 1976. Since then, he has won acclaim for his poetry’s attentiveness to visual culture and linguistic surface. He currently teaches at the Mason Gross School of the Arts and Rutgers University, and lives in New York City.
