CLAY Beauty is the vocation of the earth. -William Bryant Logan God's breath on a compound of silica, alumina and various oxides primarily iron-gave Adam life. There is a primal, almost mystical connection between humankind and clay, from the footed, bellied first receptacles to frescoed Renaissance cathedral walls. To Carver's eye, the muddy creek banks say Here to be dug up, strained and painted on, is loveliness the poorest can afford: azures, ochres . . . Scraps of discarded board are landscapes. Cabins undistinguished brown bloom like slaves freed to struggle toward self-worth. Beauty is commonplace, as cheap as dirt. MARILYN NELSON from Carver, A like in Poems Back www.diacenter.org

46. Marilyn Nelson repose. marilyn nelson was raised on a succession of military bases,and started writing while still in elementary school. Her father http://www.grdodge.org/poetry/Festival2002/Featured_Poets/Nelson.htm

Poetry is a slow art, not well-suited to our I'm-running-as-fast-as-I-can culture. It speaks from and to the deep interior well that humankind has learned to draw from through various contemplative practices. Poetry, like contemplation, both requires and teaches inner repose. MARILYN NELSON was raised on a succession of military bases, and started writing while still in elementary school. Her father (a career Air Force officer who wrote poems and plays) was a navigator on one of the B-52’s that circled the globe carrying atomic bombs. An intimate sense of the connection between personal/familial history and world history informs all of her work. Her books include The Fields of Praise: New and Selected Poems Magnificat The Homeplace Mama's Promises (1985); and For the Body She has also published two collections of verse for children. Her honors include two Pushcart Prizes, and creative writing fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Fulbright Teaching Fellowship, and the 1990 Connecticut Arts Award. Marilyn was named Poet Laureate of Connecticut in June, 2001.

A very special Thank You! to Ms. Marilyn Nelson Reprinted by permission of Louisiana State University Press from The Tuskegee Airfield For the Tuskegee Airmen These men, these proud black men: our first to touch their fingers to the sky. The Germans learned to call them Die Schwarzen Vogelmenschen. They called themselves The Spookwaffe. Sitting at attention for lectures about ailerons, airspeed, altimeters Oh, there were parties, cadet-dances, guest appearances by the Count and the lovely Lena. There was the embarrassing adulation of Negro civilians. A woman approached my father in a bar where he was drinking with his buddies. Hello, Airman. She held out her palm. Will you tell me my future? There was that, like a breath of pure oxygen. But first they had to earn wings. There was this one instructor who was pretty nice. I mean, we just sat around and talked when a flight had gone well.

52. Review Of "The Fields Of Praise" By Marilyn Nelson The Fields of Praise, by marilyn nelson A Review by Joyce S. Brown The poetryin marilyn nelson's 1997 National Book Award Finalist collection of new and http://www.smartishpace.com/home/reviews_nelson.html

The Fields of Praise by Marilyn Nelson A Review by Joyce S. Brown The poetry in  Marilyn Nelson's 1997 National Book Award Finalist collection of new and selected poems, The Fields of Praise (Louisiana State Press, $16.95) varies richly in both subject matter and technique. In section I, "Mama and Daddy," Nelson recounts in conversational poems, poignant, engaging stories of her parents and what they gave her. Her father "was a navigator on B-52s. His crew was a lot like the crew of the bomber in Dr. Strangelove (1964) in which James Earl Jones plays the part of the navigator." she writes in the notes on the poems. The Tuskegee Airmen poems, she says, are true: "These men,/these proud black men;/our first to touch/their fingers to the sky." Except for their short lines, many of the poems in this section read like prose. The riveting stories contain racial tensions of WWII - harsh, blatant prejudices to be confronted. The movement of the book from informal to formal poems, and from homey to rather sublime subject matter gives a sense of the progress of an individual life as it matures. By the third section of the book, Nelson's poems are "inspired by Giotto's frescoes about the life of St. Francis," Mary's "Magnificat," "the Book of Jonah," and Saint John of the Cross. In her notes detailing these poems, she adds, "No, I am not Catholic."

Connecticut Poet Marilyn Nelson to Read Marilyn Nelson is an African-American performance poet whose work uses and re-visions traditional English poetic forms to tell stories, history, and truth. She is the author of five poetry collections, including In the Fields of Praise, a 1997 National Book Award Nominee. Nelson is a professor of creative writing at University of Connecticut at Storrs. She will read Thursday, March 19, at 7:30 p.m. in Ayres 120 as part of the Writer's Voice Series. Her visit is co-sponsored by the Center for Multicultural and Gender Studies. THE SACRAMENT OF POVERTY by Marilyn Nelson for Judy Maines-La Marre All the children on this ward are dying of AIDS. The sister opens the door to two hundred and ten quiet cribs lined in such tight ranks you can barely squeeze between. This is not an unpaid advertisement: You left your family, the local value of your surname, your wind-tight house, electricity, the safe water we turn on and drink, and went for two weeks to Haiti, to hold out your arms from a rocking-chair. One by one babies were handed to you, their skin smooth as black milk. Gradually they remembered touch, met your gaze, surrendered smiles. One tottered through three wards to find you again; he stood beside your chair, his cheek pressed to your arm. All you can do, you said later, is hold them and love them. And let them go.

Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge! The House on Moscow Street It's the ragged source of memory, a tarpaper-shingled bungalow whose floors tilt toward the porch, whose back yard ends abruptly in a weedy ravine. Nothing special: a chain of three bedrooms and a long side porch turned parlor where my great-grandfather, Pomp, smoked every evening over the news, a long sunny kitchen where Annie, his wife, measured cornmeal, dreaming through the window across the ravine and up to Shelby Hill where she had borne their spirited, high-yellow brood. In the middle bedroom's hard, high antique double bed, the ghost of Aunt Jane, the laundress who bought the house in 1872, though I call with all my voices, does not appear. Nor does Pomp's ghost, with whom one of my cousins believes she once had a long and intimate unspoken midnight talk. He told her, though they'd never met, that he loved her; promised her raw widowhood would heal without leaving a scar. The conveniences in an enclosed corner of the slant-floored back side porch were the first indoor plumbing in town. Aunt Jane put them in
