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.
