* One of the Boston Globe's Best Books of 2020 * Winner of the Walt Whitman Award of the Academy of American Poets, selected by Li-Young Lee The More Extravagant Feast focuses on the trophic exchanges of a human body with the world via pregnancy, motherhood, and interconnectionâthe acts of making and sustaining other bodies from oneâs own, and oneâs own from the larger world. Leah Naomi Green writes from attentiveness to the vast availability and capacity of the weedy, fecund earth and from her own human place within more-than-human life, death, and birth.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I began working with Tony, and my life changed dramatically. I was no longer behind the camera, but struggling to articulate my own story. I had too many memories to remember, and I spent almost all of my waking hours silently reliving them. #2 Tony was the host of CNNâs Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown. He was a friend and mentor to many of the showâs crew members, and his death was shocking. #3 I would eventually work my way up the ladder and produce and direct nearly 100 episodes of TV with Tony. I spent my entire adult life working on the four incarnations of Tonyâs ever-evolving travelogue. #4 The job of a travel director was to make sure the show was taken around the world by mechanical tornado. Each year, the production team would be followed by government minders in communist countries and harassed by tourism boards in others.
