brilliant. Thankyou Lucille Clifton

"poetry is a way of living in the world". Too true.

“it’s not about answers, it’s about questions. you come to poetry, not out of what you know, but what you wonder” so beautifully said.

I was fortunate to have been one of her students. Getting Lucille to laugh was once one of my great joys.

Barely over a minute in length and her words will stick with me for years ❤

She is an amazing poet. She is a master poet.

To say what you mean is prose while to say other than, or more than what you mean is poetry.

Wonderfully said!

Was fortunate enough to meet her before she passed... an amazing women and poet

✨👏✨So true; love this✨
