Lucille Clifton was a prolific poet and also the author of children's books. If her work is new to you this biography will give you an idea of the range and power of her poetry. Reading her biography and her poems always make me glad that she was so prolific. She shed light on so many aspects of what it means to be human.

Here is one of her poems in celebration of Friday Poem, February 19.
