POET'S FORUM
In Pattabi Seshadri's "Desert Grass," the America of Walt Whitman reckons with the America of Abu Ghraib. Join him this month in a discussion of the poem. Pattabi Seshadri reads "Desert Grass"

Once in a while, I'll pick up a lit mag and read a great poem by someone I've never heard of. A poem that knocks me down and steals my shoes and makes me walk back to my own poor town over rocks and thorns. A poem that knocks the oomph out of my status quo. A poem I want to read to everybody. One that works and risks while it works. The Beloit Poetry Journal offers such poems.
