Item Spoons Are for Looks: A Collection of Essays(MFA in Creative Writing, The University of Tampa, 2016-01-07) Miller, Ashley PaytonSpoons Are for Looks is a collection of personal essays that explore the powers of food and drink, and the paradoxical capabilities of family to nourish and starve. From reflections on body image and womanhood to rendering the love story of a disfigured man and his selfless wife, each of these essays encapsulate a young woman’s attempt to better understand herself and the uncontrollable world around her. Close observation of people and meditation on both the values and consequences of tradition are the narrator’s guiding forces. What is at stake when you fall in love? What is at stake when you stop loving? And why can’t everything be solved with buttery mashed potatoes and a grilled steak?
