The very cool “My Chili Recipe: An Ars Poetica” includes an actual chili recipe as well as advice that’s excellent for chili and poetry: stir occasionally. A good poem requires a kind of mixing or churning, a change (or changes) in direction, in tone or feeling, if it’s to offer anything new or worthwhile, and imagination is always the source of the stir. What I find so pleasurable about Tom C. Hunley’s poems is the multifaceted nature of his imagination, whether conceptual, ethical, sonic, emotional, or imagistic. I had faith in this book from the first few pages, both that the poems would have something to offer, something to say, and that I wouldn’t be able to predict what that was. That’s the way it is with the best cooks-they deliver the goods, but you don’t know how.
