Main stage - Saturday afternoon - Lucille Clifton

Lucille Clifton , one of the matriarchs of American poetry, is not really a 'grand matriarch' at all. She is so open, so down to earth. I have had the pleasure of hearing her at the three Dodge events I have attended and multiple times at those events. Usually in a "Poets on Poetry" session and then she always takes part in the Poetry Sampler and again on the Main stage in Saturday evening lineup.  I don't tire of listening to Lucille. Even when she has repeated a poem I have heard before, it is a "new" reading. Something new comes from hearing at a different time and place.   "Miriam"   "After blues"   FL "... my father was so sure"   FL "what I know is"   "In 1958"   FL "You are nearly light enough"   "Mataooha" - she who is called Pocahontas   "Aunt Jemima"   "September song"   FL "won't you celebrate with me "     Technorati Tags : Dodge+Poetry, poetry, poems   Powered By Qumana
