Extractions: Picture Lucille Clifton was born in Depew, New York. Named after her great-grandmother who, according to her father, was the first Black woman to be legally hanged in the state of Virginia, she was raised with two half-sisters and a brother. Growing up, she recalls hearing the word 'nigger'. She knew that it wasn't her, and she thought, "'Well, I'll have to suspect everything they say, won't I?' And I've always been a very curious person, interested in a lot of things, and, so, in writing, I never thought I would be a poet," (Davis). Clifton was awarded a scholarship to Howard University, becoming the first person in her family to finish high school and consider college, entering as a drama major. After two years she lost her scholarship and told her father, "I don't need that stuff. I'm going to write poems. I can do what I want to do! I'm from Dahomey women!" It was at this point that Clifton's writing began. In a writer's group she met a man named Ishmael Reed, who showed some of her poems to Langston Hughes. He was the first to publish Clifton, premiering her work in the anthology Poetry of the Negro. Her first complete book of poems, Good Times, was published in 1969. She has been twice nominated for the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. Her first children's book, Some of the Days of Everett Anderson (1970) launched her into writing children's stories. Clifton was recently interviewed as part of a major video series exploring the American phenomenon of public poetry, "The Language of Life," with Bill Moyers. She has been honored as Poet Laureate of Maryland, and currently teaches as a Distinguished Professor of Humanities at St. Mary's College of Maryland.

Contact webmaster On Strength Gotten from Others When I was 5 years old I forgot my piece. It was the annual Christmas program of Macedonia Baptist Church-a splendid affair-and all of the young Sunday school members had been given poems and recitations to memorize. I forgot mine. I remember standing there on stage in my new Christmas dress, trying not to cry as the church members smiled, nodded and murmured encouragement from the front row. "Go 'head, baby." And I stood there with my mouth poked out. It was a scandal! This fresh young nobody baby standing in front of the Lord in His own house talking about what she don't want! I could feel the disapproval pouring over my new dress. Then, like a great tidal wave from the ocean of God, my sanctified mother poured down the Baptist aisle, huge as love, her hand outstretched toward mine. "Come on, baby," she smiled, then turned to address the church: "She don't have to do nothing she don't want to do."

SEND YOUR FEEDBACK CBC Arts Lucille Clifton, a St. Mary's, Md.,-based poet and children's author, has won the $100,000 US Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, one of the largest and most prestigious U.S. literary honours. She becomes the first African-American woman to win the prize, which honours lifetime accomplishment by a U.S. poet. Clifton has published 11 books of poetry, including two that were nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, one book of prose and 19 children's books. "Lucille Clifton is a powerful presence and voice in American poetry," Christian Wiman, editor of Poetry magazine and chair of the selection committee, said in a statement on Monday that announced Clifton's win. "Her poems are at once outraged and tender, small and explosive, sassy and devout. She sounds like no one else, and her achievement looks larger with each passing year."

Extractions: Lucille Clifton is an accomplished and nationally-recognized poet and author, college faculty member, and mother of six children. She is also the former Poet Laureate of Maryland. Clifton's career reflects her self-satisfaction as a strong, black woman who believes that only by accepting individual responsibility can people live a better life. Thelma Lucille Sayles was born in 1936 in Depew, New York, a small town outside of Buffalo. Her mother, a poet, encouraged her creativity and the young girl began to compose stories and poems as a child. Lucille was the first person in her family to graduate from high school and, in 1953, she won a scholarship to Howard University in Washington, D.C., where she majored in drama. However, she left Howard after two years after deciding that she would rather write poetry. A year after leaving Howard, Lucille attended Fredonia State Teacher's College (now State University of New York at Fredonia). In 1958, she married Fred Clifton. Lucille Clifton's first volume of poetry, Good Times: Poems , was published in 1969. It was cited by the New York Times as one of 1969's ten best books. Since then, Clifton has published thirty volumes of poetry and books for children and adults. Her writing focuses on themes related to African-American women and families. It has been noted that her pride as a black woman has helped her write positively about overcoming the difficulties faced by those living in the inner city. In 1987, Clifton was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry for

Extractions: Memory also serves this disruptive purpose: "they ask me to remember / but they want me to remember / their memories / and i keep on remembering / mine." Serious humor here also. And again the primacy of the self, the self with its own memories. This poem's title, "why some people be mad at me sometimes," is instructive. Clifton's non-standard English makes rooms for itself just like her hips do - you can't help but notice it, and smile in recognition. At the same time, (in addition to what Guy Davenport calls the memory of another linguistic system) is the awareness of systems of power and authority. Clifton's memories need as much space as her hips do; neither hips nor memory fits neatly into previously ordered social constructions. But not fitting neatly is not the same as being outside of those systems altogether, and Clifton knows that even she sometimes concedes. Indeed, she has already faced that inclination:
