Introducing the Thanksgiving Card 2024

For the twelfth year running, Zoe Marie Bel has written a poem for Thanksgiving. (Those for whom she is particularly grateful then receive a copy of the poem in the mail... while those who can't be mailed or are prone to paper cuts receive a rather-crap-by-comparison hyperlink instead.)

Since 2021, the main Thanksgiving card has been accompanied by a mini card designed to fit in your wallet or pocket. The 2024 mini card is something a little bit different: an art card as much as a poem card.

In recent years, to offer background to her Thanksgiving poems, Zoe has posted video of herself yapping to camera, generally someplace really well-thought-out like alongside a busy LA road or on a French balcony patronized by mosquitoes and hormonal cats.

This year, the time to yap has eluded Zoe. With two books coming out in the next few months (this one and this one), she's kinda busy. Instead, on the following pages, Zoe has shared a few written notes and images as background to the Thanksgiving 2024 cards.

Note: if you know your card is on its way, don't proceed beyond this page just yet, or spoilers will smack you silly, and that's hardly in the holiday spirit now, is it?
