From Cheryl Angelina Koehler, Editor of Edible East Bay: "How is a poet like a gardener? It’s that planting of words in a field, the rows, the rhythms, the intended meanings. And words in a poem are like seeds in a garden: Soil, weather, light, time, nutrients, and coaxing hands move outcomes. Since 2016, Edible East Bay has been following poet Gabrielle Myers, who has worked as a chef and farmer in the East Bay, Sacramento Valley, and Sierra Foothills. Her writings always bring us in close touch with the earth where our food is grown and inform our understanding of ourselves and bodies in association with those elements that feed us."
