New Releases by Ruth Fankushen Kunkel

A portrait of the writer''s mindset prior to taking medication. These wry poems and essays reveal the intensity, anxiety, and richness of that time period. "Ruth has a strong strain of original insight and an independent style. In her little prose poems, she manifests a stubborn, quiet, and subtle sensibility. Her poems are often quite condensed, but they have a powerful quality that marks her as a definite talent. " -Gary Snyder (Turtle Island and Mountains and Rivers Without End)

"What a goofy, fun and ultimately usable book -both for kids and adults. I mean, who can resist "Pigs in Spaceships" or "Realistic Corn Fritters?" I loved reading ''An Alien Robot''s Cookbook.'' It made me smile. I imagine anyone could cook from it and have real food, and the drawings are out of this world!" -Deborah Madison, author of "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone" and "Local Flavors"
