a concept poem structured around the thanksgiving meal 〰️
Welcome to the Thanksgiving Menu-Poem. This project is a conceptual meal served as poetry for the thousands of friends I would love to have at our home on Thanksgiving Day.
This series began in 2002 with a Menu-Poem to honor Charles Bernstein, and since then this series engages Thanksgiving as the basis to celebrate poetry, poets, and the poetry community. Being a trained professional chef, I have blended my love of food and poetry into a book-length work as a feast of words and art to bring everyone a tiny bit closer together.

Rocket Egg Fury : A Menu Poem
Guest of Honor: Charles Bernstein
Welcome to the very first installment of the Thanksgiving Menu Poem. This is a concept poem structured around the thanksgiving meal I would cook for everyone I could invite to honor a great poet. This year, the guest of honor is Charles Bernstein.
I am a trained chef and I have the ability to prepare this meal and if you come over with a few dollars, I’ll prepare this for you :-) Be sure to come back next year!
Love, Geoffrey
