We were lucky to have Lucille Clifton as an artistic advisor and a guest reader spanning thirty-five years. She was a national treasure, and we miss her every day. Her poems pop up in my mind so frequently ("wishes for sons," "blessing the boats," "won't you celebrate with me," "lesson of the falling leaves," that I like to think of her whispering in my ear. Thank you for appreciating her!
Wonderful, wonderful.
I miss her. My teacher, my mentor, my friend.
I love Lucille Clifton! I have to get her memoir, Good Woman and read it. I write poetry, I'm writing a memoir and I write for teenagers.
Such a lovely lady, I wish she was still with us.

I have listened to her read "Good Times" at least 10x!
PLEASE! 😍😍🥹
Isn't she just amazing? I would love to have been a fly on the wall in that kitchen where everyone was dancing.
Love this interview, I've watched it nearly 10 times now
TA Hill, a pleasure, both of you.
This woman should be Famous.
If I knew where poems came from I would go get them, I couldn't agree more.
Beautiful
