Reed, who publishes scholarly papers on genetic variation in obesity and taste in humans and mice, and examines the biology of human salt perception, was raised in a home that was built on a former asparagus farm, where asparagus spears would pop up in the middle of her family’s yard every spring. EDITORS-IN-CHIEF: Joshua Auerbach and Eleni (Helen) Zisimatos. “Reviewers definitively told us that human food is over-sweetened.” The findings were published in the scientific journal Physiology & Behavior, and Reed was stunned to see how many online commenters felt “that normal, commercially available foods are often sweetened beyond the point where people want to eat them.” “Sweet was the most frequently mentioned taste quality,” she says. A biannual publication of poetry, visual art, essays, interviews, and reviews. Still seeking out bitter flavors in adulthood for a different study, Reed analyzed 400,000 food reviews posted by Amazon customers on the company website over 10 years, finding that many reviewers described food products as too sweet. There could be receptors on the tongue for triglycerides-the main constituents of body fat in humans and other vertebrates, as well as vegetable fat-which produce fat’s oily feel. “My mom used to talk about a salad being ‘dry’ if it didn’t have a dressing.” Researchers now think fat might be a taste, like sugar or caffeine. For instance, many people think of fat as a texture that “makes things lubricated or wet, that you roll around in your mouth,” says Reed. Her team came to Twinsburg to study fat and how it is perceived as a taste. Vallum: Contemporary Poetry My first experience with chapbooks was Vallums annual. For a three-year study that began in 2016, she traveled there in a rental van, carrying a mix of fats: powdered milk mixed with milk fat, skim milk-and the crowd-pleaser, potato chips. So every August, she drives to Twinsburg, Ohio, for the annual gathering of twins. As one of Canadas top poetry journals with an international focus,Vallum encourages dialogue between Quebec and the rest of Canada and allows Canadian artists. But every so often, they don’t-and that difference intrigues her.

Most of the time, identical twins have the same taste and food preferences. She and other researchers aim to understand what’s inherited and what’s not in terms of smell, taste, food preferences and obesity. And there is glass all over everything.Today she is a behavioral geneticist who serves as associate director at Philadelphia’s Monell Chemical Senses Center. I have glass everywhere in the parlor, on the couch. His work has been previously published in Vallum, Carousel, Misunderstandings Magazine, Bitterzoet Magazine and elsewhere. + Thank you bows to Haley Lasch, an experimental poet and the wonderful editor of Concision Poetry Journal, a triannual online literary magazine, she started. But let me get on with reading and I came across this poem called CUNT by Joanne Merriam and I had to stop and read it once, twice and three times (wouldn’t you) and let me write here Merriam’s last line: ‘See how moonlight’s sharp music breaks all your windows.’ I have glass all over my office. Editor in Chief - Devon Gallant is the author of four collections of poetry The Day After, the flower dress and other lines, His Inner Season, and S (tars) & M (agnets). What a drag if everyplace were New York! But this is Montreal and I was way pleased to be reading Nicole Brossard ’ who is one of the north’s best. Editor - James Dunnigan is a poet from Montreal, author of two chapbooks, Wine and Fire (Cactus Press, 2020) and The Stained Glass Sequence (Frog Hollow Press, 2019). Vallum magazine publishes work that pushes boundaries and invites the exploration of different outlooks and perspectives. Ideal submissions are well-crafted, fresh and edgy. This is not your small press poetry magazine but poetry is big enough for several places of poetry. His work has been previously published in Vallum, Carousel, Misunderstandings Magazine, Bitterzoet Magazine and elsewhere. Vallum is interested in original and previously unpublished work. Got it all sassy! Enough and when I came to find myself reading it page by page (a thing I don’t do with magazines much anymore) I found I liked it.
