lunabbly's review against another edition

Phew. This was my first time reading Lucille Clifton, I had never studied her in school so I feel really lucky to have gotten a copy from the library. The amount of emotion in such brief, concise words and poetic patterns (note, I'm not a poet) just really hits you hard. Highly recommend.
I especially loved "poem in praise of menstruation" -- I think it's rare to find something so beautiful and short about menstruating.

Absolutely amazing poetry. Says so much so succinctly. I didn't like every poem but I found every poem caused a small revolution in my brain and I loved some of them for it.

Lucille Clifton had a gift for packing a lot of punch into a few words. Powerful poems here.
