I always want things to be done when I say they are, but things have to work their way entirely through your system, like food in digestion.

A poem by Gregory Pardlo

Written by Himself

I was born in minutes in a roadside kitchen a skillet

whispering my name. I was born to rainwater and lye;

I was born across the river where I

was borrowed with clothespins, a harrow tooth,

broadsides sewn in my shoes. I returned, though

it please you, through no fault of my own,

pockets filled with coffee grounds and eggshells.

I was born still and superstitious; I bore an unexpected burden.

I gave birth, I gave blessing, I gave rise to suspicion.

I was born abandoned outdoors in the heat-shaped air,

air drifting like spirits and old windows.

I was born a fraction and a cipher and a ledger entry;

I was an index of first lines when I was born.

I was born waist-deep stubborn in the water crying

ain’t I a woman and a brother I was born

to this hall of mirrors, this horror story I was

born with a prologue of references, pursued

by mosquitoes and thieves, I was born passing

off the problem of the twentieth century: I was born.

I read minds before I could read fishes and loaves;

I walked a piece of the way along before I was born.

Gregory Pardlo

Folklore Week!

August 22nd is World Folklore Day, so we're bringing to you a sampling of our extensive folklore collection this week. Folklore studies, while pre-dating popular culture studies, is an important aspect of what we preserve at the Browne Popular Culture Library, since it seeks to learn about everyday people and how what we find significant is transmitted across time and space.

"Foodways" is the term used to describe the cultural practices around making, sharing, and eating food. Among our various books on foodways is the American Folklore Society's Digest: An Interdisciplinary Study of Food and Folkways (1991-1995), which the Department of Popular Culture Studies here at BGSU has been involved in at times. It features articles, reviews, photoessays, and calendars of important food festivals and conferences. Here are the covers of the four issues we keep in our collection:

The journal was relaunched in 2012 under the name Digest: A Journal of Foodways and Culture, and can be found at https://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/digest/index. Its articles are open source, so consider checking them out!

The Browne Popular Culture Library (BPCL), founded in 1969, is the most comprehensive archive of its kind in the United States.  Our focus and mission is to acquire and preserve research materials on American Popular Culture (post 1876) for curricular and research use.
