Guest of Honor: Anne Waldman
Hello and welcome! Let me take your coat and hat. Please grab a warm cider
and let's meet the other guests by the fire. Dinner will begin shortly. This
is the seventh year of this poem series and our guest of honor this year is
Anne Waldman. Next year, we will have C. D. Wright at the front of our
table! So be sure to come back :-)
A Menu Poem:
To have a gathering for so many, a virtual feast in order! The concept is a
menu poem that I would serve if we could all gather in one hall. Each course
has a poem associated with a food item in that dish. This is a small tribute
to a great poet who has influenced us all. A way we can all gather in a
small moment of comfort together and raise our glasses to honor fine work.
