5.0

Lucille Clifton's poems have always hit me right in the heartstrings, and this beautiful book is no exception. I've read some of these poems before in other collections ("further note to clark" is one of my favorite of all her poems), but most of them were new to me.

And they're all stunning, important, and so needed—like all good poetry is.

[Five bright stars because I'll never stop being grateful for Clifton's voice and her potent poetry.]
