In Angela Hibbs’ third collection, Sin Eater, the poems take the seven deadly sins for inspiration and arrangement. Each section of this book explores a different sin: Pride, Greed, Lust, Sloth, Wrath, Gluttony, and Envy.

This week’s selection is all about Gluttony, thus, I think drinking the full flight of seven sinful shooters is in order!
