Few things stir up feelings like food and poetry. People commonly react to food or poetry with exaggerated feelings one way or the other. So I am trying to set the tone for this poetry anthology by comparing it to pizza, arguably the most popular food in America, perhaps the world. So, dig in, there are many slices inside. Some with more cheese, some with less. All in all, I am sure every-one will be satisfied in the end. I like my pizza and poetry with a cold beer and a warm chair; maybe some chips to go crunch and offset the chewiness of the pizza. Whatever your preference, many people worked long and hard to produce this tasty delight. Bon Appetit, friend!
