Nec laudas nisi mortuos poetas: tanti non est, ut placeam, perire [i]
Hello and welcome to the table. This is the fourth year of our Thanksgiving
day poems. This series is designed around a dinner menu and acts as a
communal poetry gathering. This menu dinner was planned and sketched out in
December of last year. I asked for and kindly received permission to write
this before his death. It was not intended as an ultimate tribute, as it
must unfortunately become. Thus, I am committing myself to making this years
trivial menu series into something that I may not be able to accomplish.
Therefore, I apologize, and it is rightly needed as my poetic acumen is
stridently contrasted to what is needed. So I humbly ask you to read this in
the spirit it was conceived and not as the crowning achievement it should
be.
Thank you, Geoffrey Gatza
