BELOIT POETRY JOURNAL
I n the fall of 1950, Robert Glauber and Chad Walsh founded the Beloit Poetry Journal, intending it to be a publication of Beloit College, where Walsh was on the English faculty. The BPJ has remained remarkably consistent in its independent and eclectic editorial policy, its high standards, its international scope, its selection process, and its format. It has never missed an issue. The editors do the preliminary screening. The editorial board meets every three months to select an issue of the strongest poems that have arrived over the transom, a process that culminates in our reading each poem still under consideration aloud in a marathon session--fortified by bread and soup and love of the craft.
