A little late with this one, but please join me in congratulating Si Griffiths on the launch of Debone & Fold published by The Broken Spine.
About Debone & Fold
Within the context of working kitchens and the catering industry, Debone & Fold explores relationships of othering and objectification. From low wage, high stress work environments, to casual sexism; from climate change to the demands we make on the animals we eat, it focuses upon the complex relationships we have with our food and those who produce it.
Interwoven with these poems is a series of a more personal nature, which follow the arc of a romantic relationship through the lens of food and restaurants. The collection was inspired by my working life as a chef and the contradictions of being a sometime vegetarian within such an environment. The title, Debone & Fold, is taken from the process of butchering and rolling a joint of meat.
And as a teaser, here’s one of the poems taken from Debone & Fold.
