Good Woman: Poems and a Memoir 1969-1980 (American Poets Continuum)

I love discovering major poets I was never aware of and Lucille Clifton's poetry is awesome. This book is a great value for so much of her work.

I am so excited about this. Her primitive style evokes inner thought and life without polish. I'm looking forward to reading more about this amazing poet.

The poems I think were short and profound. The left me thinking and pondering after I read them.Many were bitterslices of life and heart wrenching. I found it difficult to read a lot of them at one time, They seemed to come piling andcrashing on one another. Many were very personal and raw which made them all the more moving. Read them.

I love this particular collection, because the poems are so simple they have made me actually cry - and I am NOT at all an emotional person. This is true, even though I read poetry. I love Lucille Clifton, may she rest in splendid peace.

These poems are incredibly entertaining and thought-provoking. The poet is incredible at adding music to the sound of her poems, and I couldn't help but sway my head while reading her poems.

There is nothing that I could say about this book that would do it justice.

Very reasonably priced and in like-new condition

poems are beyond my ken. The memoir is written in Black vernacular and was hard to understand or believe. But that's me.
