Gwendolyn Brooks would never have called herself a food writer. The Pulitzer-prize winner was one of the most decorated poets in American history. She published 75 poems before the age of 16, and was Poet Laureate of Illinois for 32 years. She wrote only one novel, but it contains one of the most arresting descriptions of cooking that I know.
