Over the years, the Beloit Poetry Journal has regularly donated to the College s library hundreds of books by and about contemporary poets, and ongoing files of nearly 100 distinguished literary magazines received on exchange. This makes the Beloit College library a repository of one of the richest archives of contemporary poetry in the nation. When Marion Kingston-Stocking, the current editor of the Beloit Poetry Journal , retired from Beloit College in 1984, she and her husband, David Stocking, moved the Beloit Poetry Journal to Maine. It is now published by the Beloit Poetry Journal Foundation, under Prof. Stocking s direction. As part of the 50th Anniversary celebration, the journal will publish a double issue 50-year anthology, with highlights from the publication.
All events are free, open to the public, and fully appropriate for the whole family.
