POET'S FORUM
Join the online conversation with BPJ poets on our blog, the Poet's Forum. In August's forum, Karl Elder discusses poetry's endo- and ecto-skeleton and the composition of "Ode in the Key of O."
Listen to the poem:

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.
