Health Update:
In case you did not know I recently had a major health scare. I developed a severe
case of pneumonia in the late spring. In the summer it bloomed into a full lung
abscess, which hospitalized me for a short while. I have been recovering nicely
at home and even though I am still being treated by very capable doctors, I will
be better in about two or three months. However, do know that I am back to work
and it has been a real pleasure to be working on this issue of BlazeVOX. I think
you will enjoy it too. So hurray!
Thanksgiving Menu-Poem:
Dedicated to You, the reader of BlazeVOX
Beginning in 2002 with a Menu-Poem to honor Charles Bernstein, I have continued
this series of texts using a menu as the basis to honor prominent poets. Being a
trained professional chef I wanted to blend my love of food and poetry into a book-length
work that would fit within the ideas of Thanksgiving. In a feast of words, I wanted
to honor poets who have meant many things to many readers in a form that could be
presented to everyone. Over the years we have honored many fine poets, but last
year we had a bit of a fiasco, a wonderful poet declined the Menu-Poem for very
fine reasons. So to pick things back up, we decided it was best to dedicate this
poem to you, the reader, and bring you in on all the fun. Hurray! I would also
like to take this opportunity, on a day of giving thanks, to say a special thank
you to everyone who was kind enough to be there for me during this tumultuous year.
The outpouring of support was something that made my wife Donna and I feel just
grand. So to say 'Hurray, I am still alive' and to say thank you all, this Menu-Poem
is dedicated to you. So save the date, I'll be sure to send you a link to this year's
menu-poem. But also have a look at our previous years menu-poems in case you are
eager to see what this is all about.
Rockets!
Geoffrey Gatza, editor
