My "Grappling" runs three pages in the current Southern Review.

Two "buddies," Bruce Weigl and Marilyn Nelson (from the Joiner Center's Writer's Workshop) also have three pages.

Nelson's nine Triolets are worth particular attention: they're based on the aftermath of the firebombing of a Creole village in Mauritius during racial "unrest" in 1999, in a village named, "Triolet."

Sandy Taylor, editor at Curbstone Press (Willimantic, Connecticut), is printing a small chapbook of Nelson's triolets about Triolet, and sending the profit to the African hamlet for schoolbooks. Saint Sandy Taylor!

Note: Marilyn Nelson won the 2000 Poets Prize, edging Thomas Lux. (Maybe it was the 1999.) She's no fly-by-night. She's a poet who'll endure.
