POET'S FORUM Join the online conversation with BPJ poets on our blog, the Poet's Forum.
From her cabin in the Colorado mountains, Susan Tichy launches the July forum discussion of "A Ghost" (in our Summer 2010 issue) with a consideration of mountain climbing and making art as "ways of knowing."
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.
