    Extractions: Lucille Clifton (1936) Contributing Editor: James A. Miller Clifton's poetry is generally very accessible, so accessible that careless readers may overlook the way she often achieves her poetic effects. Her poetry is best read aloud and students should be encouraged to read and hear her poems first, then to explore issues of language, form, and theme. Clifton is deeply concerned with the ways in which the weight of racial memory and history extends into the present, with family and community history, and with the possibilities of transcendence and reconciliation. A deeply spiritual vein shapes much of her poetry, which conveys a sense of wonder and mystery as well as optimism and resilience. Clifton's poems seem guided by the dictates of her own experience and consciousness rather than by any a priori sense of form or poetic conventions. Her primary commitment is to economical, everyday language, and to the rhythmic and musical qualities of the language that shapes her poems. Clifton's first collection of poems

45. Poet Lucille Clifton To Read At Smith College
    Beloved Poet lucille clifton to Read at Smith College. NORTHAMPTON, Mass.SmithCollege will host poet lucille clifton at 730 pm on Tuesday, Sept.

    Extractions: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Beloved Poet Lucille Clifton to Read at Smith College NORTHAMPTON, Mass.-Smith College will host poet Lucille Clifton at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 24, in Wright Hall Auditorium. The event, sponsored by the Poetry Center, is free and open to the public. Clifton is one of the most beloved and respected figures in American poetry today. A major voice since her publishing debut in 1969, she has continued to portray the experiences of being an African American, a woman and a human, with clarity and elegance. Her language, often described as "deceptively simple," strikes a nuanced balance between complexity of thought and economy of words. Born in Depew, N.Y., Clifton attended both Howard University (where she met future luminaries Toni Morrison and James Baldwin) and Fredonia State Teachers College (now SUNY-Fredonia). She is the author of a dozen books of poetry and prose and almost 20 children's books, including the Everett Anderson series. The New York Times named her first book of poems, "Good Times," one of the ten best books of 1969. Subsequent books include "An Ordinary Woman," "Good Woman," "Quilting" and, most recently, "Blessing the Boats: New and Selected Poems, 1988-2000," which won the National Book Award. Clifton is the only poet to have two books nominated for the Pulitzer at once ("Next" and "Good Woman: Poems and a Memoir, 1969-1980").

    Extractions: I’ll tell you this about poetry: If you’re not feeling danger, from it, you’re not doing it right…because it is not a safe thing to do. It is not about safety. If it were about safety, we’d have a lot more poets but less good poems. LUCILLE CLIFTON was one of a generation of black artists and writers who broke away from Euro-centric models to rediscover and honor African-American oral traditions. Often using her own family history as a resource (Her great-great grandmother was a Dahomey woman kidnapped into slavery.) her poems and children’s books consistently challenge stereotypes by bearing witness for the victims of America’s failed promises. She is the author of eleven collections of poetry, most recently Blessing the Boats: New and Selected Poems, 1988-2000 , and of many popular books for children. Maryland’s Poet Laureate from 1979 to 1982, s he has taught at universities across the country and is currently Distinguished Professor of Humanities at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. In 1999, Lucille Clifton was named a Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets.

    http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/9178/clifton1.html
    
    Extractions: Some of us are very, very fortunate: we are priviliged to at least once in our lifetime meet a woman who is so powerful, so full of love and giving, that she changes the course of our lives, and always for the better. I have been many times blessed in having met a number of such women. The first was Lucille Clifton. She was my Senior Thesis Advisor during the short time she was at the University of California - Santa Cruz and she gave me the gift of trusting my woman's voice as a writer. She taught me that writer's are "Ordinary Women" indeed, which meant I could join that elite if I so chose, and that as "Ordinary Women" we have powerful things to say about the world we live in. She taught me writers are not Goddesses that look down upon mere mortals such as myself, yet rather are warm, loving, caring women willing and eager to share their knowledge of the craft of writing. At least Lucille Clifton is. There is nothing, really, that I can say about Lucille Clifton that her poetry cannot say better. I am including on the following pages the poems from good woman: poems and a memoir 1969-1980 which affected me most profoundly, with brief comments regarding my response to them. Understand, please, these are only my interpretations of her poems; it may not be at all what she intended or what you perceive of them, but then, that is one of the magic wonders of poetry: we see each poem in our individual, unique way. I simply hope you are struck with the beauty and power of Lucille Clifton's poems as I have been.

    Extractions: A young girl and her Big Mama (grandmother) look at Big Mama's scrapbook and she tells her granddaughter stories from her childhood. One of these stories is of a friend, Bettie Jean who lived in an uptown neighborhood and when they would go over to Bettie Jean's to play they would have wonderful meals. When Bettie Jean came to Big Mama's house they decided to have a picnic and Big Mama's mother brought out mayonnaise sandwiches and Sunshine Tea. At first Big Mama was embarrassed but then realized that Bettie Jean was interested in what they were eating. Big Mama's mother said, "There's nothing much to keep your mind on what you're eating. So while you're getting full, you have your mind on other things. Like wondering how the sun can dance." The story shows how wonderful life can be when you make the best with what you've got.

    Extractions: Lucille Clifton is an accomplished and nationally-recognized poet and author, college faculty member, and mother of six children. She is also the former Poet Laureate of Maryland. Clifton's career reflects her self-satisfaction as a strong, black woman who believes that only by accepting individual responsibility can people live a better life. Thelma Lucille Sayles was born in 1936 in Depew, New York, a small town outside of Buffalo. Her mother, a poet, encouraged her creativity and the young girl began to compose stories and poems as a child. Lucille was the first person in her family to graduate from high school and, in 1953, she won a scholarship to Howard University in Washington, D.C., where she majored in drama. However, she left Howard after two years after deciding that she would rather write poetry. A year after leaving Howard, Lucille attended Fredonia State Teacher's College (now State University of New York at Fredonia). In 1958, she married Fred Clifton. Lucille Clifton's first volume of poetry, Good Times: Poems , was published in 1969. It was cited by the New York Times as one of 1969's ten best books. Since then, Clifton has published thirty volumes of poetry and books for children and adults. Her writing focuses on themes related to African-American women and families. It has been noted that her pride as a black woman has helped her write positively about overcoming the difficulties faced by those living in the inner city. In 1987, Clifton was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for
