Historical Note

Note by Molly Peacock, written in 2022: "The Danforth Foundation Fellowship had a conference in Zion, Illinois in 1976 where I met the poet Marilyn Nelson. For the evening events at this conference, I found a vintage slip, sewed a bra into it, and paired it with long white gloves. A poet’s garb."
