How to Carry Water: Selected Poems of Lucille Clifton Zusammenfassung

How to Carry Water: Selected Poems of Lucille Clifton Lucille Clifton

How to Carry Water: Selected Poems of Lucille Clifton celebrates both familiar and lesser-known works by one of America's most beloved poets, including 10 newly discovered poems that have never been collected.

These poems celebrating black womanhood and resilience shimmer with intellect, insight, humor, and joy, all in Clifton's characteristic style-a voice that the late Toni Morrison described as seductive with the simplicity of an atom, which is to say highly complex, explosive underneath an apparent quietude. Selected and introduced by award-winning poet Aracelis Girmay, this volume of Clifton's poetry is simultaneously timeless and fitting for today's tumultuous moment.

How to Carry Water: Selected Poems of Lucille Clifton Bewertungen

Clifton was one of America's great poets, whose work throughout her lifetime was committed to chronicling and celebrating black lives. The honesty, joy, wisdom, and hope she brought to this task is regenerative.
-Tracy K. Smith, former U.S. Poet Laureate

Clifton's earliest poems could have been written yesterday, and her later works could have been written decades ago. Each poem is always its own world. Her poems touch on the political, the personal, the spiritual.
-Reginald Dwayne Betts, The New York Times

Open up to any page and Clifton delivers a word. Whether the subject is roaches, family, death, or surviving, she has a psalm for all occasions. She can create the most complicated magic out of the simplest words.
-Danez Smith, The Week
