Hurray! It's Thanksgiving once again, another November, another year gone by, and
another time to feast with dear friends. This is the tenth Thanksgiving Menu-Poem
and we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of Burning Deck Press by toasting the
wonderful Keith and Rosmarie Waldrop. The contributions of all three entities: Burning
Deck Press, Rosmarie Waldrop and Keith Waldrop on the world of poetry are many and
too numerous to mention here but provided in the next section is a full biography
with works, awards and links to many forums of discussions on their work. There
is also a nice exhibition on Burning Deck Press at the John Hay library, even if
it is now ten years old. So make like an egg and beat it on over there and make
a day of it! Hurray!
Burning Deck was set up 50 years ago as a home for experimental but it was not rooted
in the academic, or a thing for scholars, but rather, something else. A balance
of ideas was formed and a place for books that holds the traditional along side
the highly experimental. A place for ideas to be worked out in poem and prose and
considers itself free to open up the fragilities of being human in our errors and
our successes. In the fifty years of Burning Deck, we find deep reality in a body
of works that are special, insightful and purposeful. I have done my best to emulate
what I imagine they did here at BlazeVOX. It is the chilled orange colorings of
November that brings out the gratitude one can feel and share at a gathering of
friends and family. It is a time of comforting and inward thankfulness that can
be conveyed, together, among friends over a Thanksgiving table.

And before you go, I wanted to let you know that our BlazeVOX @ Burchfield Penney
event was a huge success. With 75 in attendance, we raised over a thousand dollars
for the press and had a wonderful time. Hurray indeed!
I have created a webpage to remember the whole night and to include a gallery of
the self portraits :-) Links are below to the pages. As we did sell many of the
portraits at the event, many people expressed interest in purchasing them online
with a credit card. So we have created a section in our store to sell the remaining
portraits.
Again thank you a thousand times for all of your support.
Hurray
