Writing Unveils Food

To make the heartbreaking announcement,
at the level of essential human experience,
I am terrified I will die before the

“the most resilient, potent, capacious

and universal art we have”, said the jury,
when the pandemic hit, and certain concerns
of ours began to seem rather trivial.
