Elma Stuckey

[Jozanny]

I was reading a visiting poet in residence position as opposed to deleting it, and the chair, roving though it may be, was created for Stuckey, who came onto the scene with her 1976 collection, The Big Gate, at age 60. Here is her NYT obituary (http://www.nytimes.com/1988/09/30/obituaries/elma-stuckey-81-poet-wrote-about-blacks.html?pagewanted=1).

I am overwhelmed just now, but I am definitely interested in exploring her work.
