Karl Elder’s “Negative Capability” (the poem’s title a phrase coined by John Keats in 1817 in a letter to his brothers in which he extols the virtue of uncertainty) dedicated to the 83-year-old editor and matriarch of Beloit Poetry Journal, Marion Stocking, appears in the newly-released anthology, Encore: More of Parallel Press Poets, from the Univeristy of Wisconsin-Madison’s Memorial Library.
