Eddie and Chris are joined by three-time guest Aimee Nezhukumatathil for a conversation about the intersection of food, faith, family, and parenthood, based around her latest collection of essays, Bite by Bite: Nourishments and Jamborees. 

Aimee is the author of multiple volumes of poetry, including Miracle Fruit, Oceanic, and Lucky Fish, as well as several books of essays, World of Wonders (and her most recent, Bite by Bite). Her work has appeared in multiple magazines including Poetry magazine, Ploughshares, FIELD, and American Poetry Review, and she is the first poetry editor for Sierra, the story-telling arm of the Sierra Club.

Aimee is also professor of English and Creative Writing in the University of Mississippi’s MFA program where she received the faculty’s Distinguished Research and Creative Achievement Award.

We’re delighted to have her back on The Weight!
