Thanksgiving Poem
A Reading of Grace Cavalieri's Poem: Tomato Pie, 25 Cents
I’m out-of-town for Thanksgiving with only enough time to find a poem to share with you all. Here’s my pick, Grace Cavalieri’s Tomato Pie, 25, Cents. Checkout this video reading. You’ll find plenty of food, fun and a touching lookback at wartime America.
Those 1942 soldiers. Their fates before them unknown. How I’d like to join them on those Trenton streets and share a slice.

Yeats is said to have been the happiest of the poets. As far as I have been able to judge, Grace Cavalieri is the most beloved. She is a gift to the world of poets and poetry. Thank you for giving this gift to the world today, Henry!
A gift from Grace and Henry. Thank you.
