The world has lost a great poet, Ms. Lucille Clifton, who passed away on February 13. I've always admired her because she had such a powerful voice. If you don't know her work, please check it out. Don't just take my word for it, Lucille Clifton won an Emmy Award, a Lannan Literary Award, two fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the Shelley Memorial Award, the YM-YWHA Poetry Center Discovery Award, and the 2007 Ruth Lilly Prize (just to name some of her honors.)
