Poetic Obituaries: [Marion] Stocking was known primarily

for editing the Beloit Poetry Journal, a quarterly publication started at Beloit College in Beloit, Wis., in the 1950s. Stocking, having started her teaching career at the University of Maine at Orono in 1946, arrived at the Midwestern school by way of Colorado in 1954 and promptly got involved in editing the publication with her husband, fellow Beloit College professor David Stocking.

John Rosenwald, a current Beloit faculty member and co-editor of the journal, on Sunday recalled Stocking's explanation for why the journal never became an official publication of Beloit College, as its original founders had hoped.
