"I published, privately, a collection of my serious poetry I had written over the years. I only published 50 copies, which I gave to friends, in a special deluxe edition. It was ridiculously expensive but I'm glad that I did it"
- Tom Glazer
About this Quote
Tom Glazer's quote speaks to the significance of self-expression and the worth of sharing one's work with others. By publishing a collection of his serious poetry, Glazer was able to share his work with a select group of buddies. The reality that he only released 50 copies of the special luxurious edition talks to the exclusivity of the task, in addition to the effort and dedication he put into it. Despite the expense of the job, Glazer was delighted that he did it, likely since it enabled him to share his deal with those closest to him. This quote acts as a suggestion that self-expression is very important and that it is worth the effort to share one's deal with others.
