There anniversary edition including the afterward by her daughter Sidney Clifton has been a terrific read. I don’t like to rush through books of poetry even though the format can make the books a quick read.
I had read through this book but not from front to back so this was a great opportunity to do just that. These books are bodies of work and to be able to be engage with it in that way was a privilege.
The afterward also provided shared so much about Clifton’s writing process and relationship to writing. A must read and looking forward to returning to this book again, and again, and again.
