Lucille Clifton — song at midnight
Poetry Unbound
Embrace the Power of Distillation in Poetry
Lucille Clifton's poetry exemplifies extraordinary style through the intentional use of lowercase letters and the crafting of short, distilled verses. Each poem showcases beauty and clarity, allowing the content to resonate powerfully without excess. The duality of her poem 'Song at Midnight' reflects the complexity of identity, exploring themes of race and age, particularly from the perspective of an African American woman. Clifton’s work invites readers to engage intimately with her body and experience, blending musicality with precision.
