“unsurprisingly i am transfixed by lucille clifton’s poetry. in particular, the sections “tree of life” and “prayer” drew me in, though i found these other poems just as delightful:
- the untitled first poem of “log cabin”
- “shooting star”
- “defending my tongue”
- “we are running”
- “nude photograph”
- “water sign woman”
- “to my last period” (because of course!)
and so many more.”
