Review Summary: not just any good woman
Review: In this thoughtful collection of poetry, Lucille Clifton embraces mortality as quickly as she rejects it. She swallows life's ugliness and spits out something clean like water. Her trademark minimalism is present throughout and as masterful as always.

"Cruelty" made me read it 10x straight... not for understanding, but for the pleasure in the hard beauty and soft power of her words.

You deserve this book.

Review Summary: wit and tragedy
Review: if the name 'lucille' means 'light bearer'' this book filfulls that promise. poets read her work to learn how to compress wit and gravity into a very few lines. i read read this about a decade ago and just looking at the table of contents on Poem Finder bought back a few of the lines -- i forgive my body/ i forgive my blood
