'''Gary Mex Glazner,''' born 1957, is a [[poet]]. Harper Collins, W.W. Norton and Salon.com [http://www.salon.com/wlust/feature/1999/03/04feature.html] have published his work. He is the author of ''Ears on Fire: Snapshot Essays in a World of Poets'' published on La Alameda Press. The book chronicles a year abroad in Asia and Europe meeting poets, working on translations and writing poems. His latest book is ''How to Make a Living as a Poet'', on Soft Skull Press, published in March of 2005. The book features essays on creative poetry programming and interviews with leading poets, including among others [[Mary Karr]], [[Naomi Shihab Nye]], the [[Taco Shop Poets]] and [[Sherman Alexie]]. In 1990, Glazner produced the first [[National Poetry Slam]] in San Francisco. He is the editor of Poetry Slam: The Competitive Art of Performance Poetry, on Manic D Press. |

Glazner is the director of the [[Alzheimer's Poetry Project]] (APP). NBC's Today Show, NPR's Weekend Edition, New Zealand National Radio, and Voice of America have featured segments on the APP. The broadcasts reached over twenty million people. The APP is a simple idea: to read classic poems to the patients that they might have learned as children. Even in the late stages of the disease, this helps to spark memories and they often can say words and lines along with the poems. He is the editor of Sparking Memories: The Alzheimer’s Poetry Project Anthology. |

Glazner's group the Precision Poetry Drill Team was featured on NPR’s “All Things Considered.” [http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4615966] He is the editor of the ''Word Art: Poetry Broadside Series'', at the Palace of the Governors Museum, where he sets type and runs the old printing presses. The broadsides are on display at the museum through 2006. This summer, Glazner was commissioned by the [[Santa Fe Opera]] to create a performance based on the Spanish poet, [[Federico García Lorca]], for their festival on Lorca. Glazner along with co-producer Don McIver were the winners of the 2004 Special Merit Award from the [[National Federation of Community Broadcasters]], for ''The Poetry of Vietnam'', which was broadcast on [[KUNM]], in Albuquerque. Glazner is the Managing Director of the Bowery Poetry Club in New York City. |
