Blessing the Boats: New and Selected Poems 1988-2000
By Lucille Clifton
145 pages;
BOA Editions Ltd.
In
spare, truthful lyrics, Lucille Clifton talks about the inhuman challenges of
her life: child abuse, bigotry, cancer. But Clifton survives all this adversity
to discover joy—and power—as well as how to "wake up
dancing." An essential book, filled with "the strength that opens us
beyond ourselves."
