POET'S FORUM
This month, Marilyn Nelson describes how loving the relationship between clothing and memory led to writing her sonnets "Called
Up
," "Your Own," and "Making History."

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.
