Annihilation and Other Recipes with Oranges

Annihilation and Other Recipes with Oranges is the debut chapbook by aspiring poet Jake Price. With an emphasis on merging unique and image driven hybrid poetic forms with a world building narrative, this chapbook focuses on creating a rich and dynamic atmosphere and emerging the reader into it. Follow the narrator in his attempt to navigate his way through losing his job as a chef in a successful restaurant and addressing the problems he worked so hard to hide in the kitchen away from. The ghosts of his past present themselves, and he tackles each of these obstacles with the excitement and turmoil present in restaurant life. Here, recipes are not simply a checklist, but a way of living. The language is savory and vivid, with a guarantee to provide any reader with something to think about; each word is compiled with the precision of a chef bringing a meal to life.
