Thanks for telling us about this, Clive.
It's a lovely interview of a lovely lady and brilliant poet.
(I sorted out the link for you; hope you didn't mind my interference!)

Thanks for posting this. I especially like the recommendations for 5 books to use.
Maryann Corbett and I had the good fortune to hear Ms. Stallings read at St. Olaf's College last Monday night. The poems she selected focused on motherhood, children, and journeys to the underworld. The highlight for me was "Lost and Found," which rolled on in wave after wave of ottava rima. It starts at p. 23 of this archived file of the Beloit Poetry Journal: Here
St. Olaf's College is located in a town called Northfield.

Bill,
I've interfered again, sorry! As with Clive's original post, I've tidied up the link. It's very easy to do, actually, though it's not as easy to explain - so I just poke my nose in and do it

Has anybody been able to access the poem recently? I used the link earlier today, and it worked fine, but I had no time to read the poem. Now I'm going back, and the link won't work. Furthermore, I can link to the Beloit Poetry Journal through the net, and to the archive by issue or poet - but when I try to open a specific poem - any poem, by any poet - nothing happens. Anybody else have this problem? Has our galaxy of Alicia-freaks overloaded their system?
By the way, their archives are astonishing. I had no idea of the volume and qualify of work they publish, of it I did I forgot. I submitted once - back in 2009 - was promptly rejected (two weeks!) and never tried again. My loss.

The poem is astounding! I've just read the interview too. Alicia is an inspiration to us all.

Alicia has always been wise, but with this poem she has attained wisdom.
