Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Voices (American Poets Continuum) (Paperback)
Lucille Clifton's poetry is, indeed, word music, most likely blues or jazz or gospel or any music that speaks to one's uncomplicated soul. The magic of her poetry is in its accessibility to the reader whether one is a lover of poetry or an infrequent visitor to the world of poetry.
There is joy as well as desperate reality in the rhythmic cadences of her carefully selected words. She brings the reader vision and sound from disparate topics,the poems of Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben or the Meditation on Ten Oxherding Pictures. Ms. Clifton was, not only, a National Book Award winner, she was, also, a national treasure. aka, Elizabeth Evans, author Sanakhou |
