We can so easily slip back from what we have struggled to attain, abruptly, into a life we never wanted; can find that we are trapped, as in a dream, and die there, without ever waking up. This can occur. Anyone who has lifted his blood into a years-long work may find that he can't sustain it, the force of gravity is irresistable, and it falls back, worthless.

The Way to Rainy Mountain , a short book by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author N. Scott Momaday, is told in three voices, comparing historical commentary, Kiowa oral tradition and personal reminiscence. New York Times Momaday received his PhD in English from Stanford in 1963 under the guidance of poet and critic Yvor Winters. (Fields also was a student of Winters.)

    Extractions: skip to main skip to sidebar www.josephinecameron.com For the past two weeks, I've been teaching the kids in our Sunday School children's choir the traditional slave song Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel? After some silliness and playing around with what the song might mean (one boy pointed out that the postage must have been pretty expensive for such a heavy delivery!) the kids really started to get into it. The simple lines of the chorus (Didn't my Lord deliver Daniel/Then why not every man?) are so gripping. You can imagine both a hopeful singer (if God delivered Daniel, he'll certainly deliver me!) and a singer who may be losing that hope (why hasn't God delivered *me*?) The verses lean toward hope, but I can't help but focus on that hint of doubt. I think about the origins of this song, of cotton, the whip, deprivation, the hot sun. How could you sing the song and *not* wonder, even for a minute...if God exists, why is there all this suffering in the world? Talking about the song reminded me of this stunning poem by Lucille Clifton (it can be found in the anthology Every Shut Eye Ain't Asleep ). Jesus, Angel, and Grace of God were names of ships that delivered slaves from Africa to the Americas. The picture above is a diagram of how the slaves were loaded into the ships...literally, as Lucille Clifton writes, "like spoons."

Why is Lucille Clifton under appreciated? » At an ceremony held Wednesday night in Chicago, Buffalo area native Lucille Clifton accepted the 2007 Ruth Lilly Prize for lifetime achievement in American poetry from the Poetry Foundation. The three-person selection committee issued a statement that read in part: “ Her poems are local and funny, and have their own particular idiom; they speak big things in quiet ways, and she’s voracious in the subject matter she takes on, spanning city and country, speaking for the unspoken, the sacred, and the invisible. Clifton has added enormously to the representation of the African-American experience in poetry and has been a kind of historical consciousness for her people and a public consciousness for us all.” Clifton was born in 1936 as Thelma Lucille Sayles into working class family in Depew. She was raised in Buffalo (her family lived on Purdy Street).

The evening, sponsored by the Marianne Moore Fund for the Study of Poetry, drew quite the crowd, with admirers sitting on staircases, on the floors, and even listening from an adjacent room. E-mail this article Print this article View a PDF of this issue Lucille Clifton is one of the United State’s most renowned living poets. Raised in upstate New York, her first book of poetry, entitled “Good Times,” ranked as one of The New York Times’ best books in 1969. In this book and in her numerous others, she celebrates her African-American heritage and her feminist beliefs. Tonight, Clifton held court seated at the front of the Ely Room. Her voice was quiet but captivating as she read her poetry and shared anecdotes from her life as a poet and an educator. While it felt far less intimate than I think it would have if the event had only been open to members of the community rather than making it open to the public, I was impressed by Clifton’s presentation, having only read her work in books before. My personal favorite was a poem entitled “Aunt Jemima” in which she ponders what it’s like to long for somewhere to call home. This theme speaks to her overall tendencies as a writer. Her poems exude this almost heartbreaking combination of anguish and hope.

The University of St. Thomas has made tremendous strides over the past year toward integrating diversity and inclusion across the institution. The Office of Institutional Diversity is grateful for your continued support, input and patience. We can only be successful as a campus when everyone accepts responsibility for diversity and change. I am pleased to announce that Oct. 8-12 begins the second annual CommUNITY Week Celebration. Our theme is purposeful: "Respecting, Affirming, and Valuing the Greater Mosaic." In the spirit of unity, a number of individuals, offices, clubs and organizations once again have come together to support programs designed to embrace the dignity of all men and women, and to celebrate the human mosaic and cultural diversity on our campus. These programs are intended to promote civility, community and collective responsibility. Last year, I created a credo for CommUNITY Week – "CommUNITY is a state of being and practice, where human dignity and individuality are respected, affirmed and valued; where inclusion is visible, not invisible; where diversity and inclusion are everyone’s responsibility!"

In making the $100,000 award, the judges cited Clifton's "looming humaneness" and "moral quality." "Clifton has added enormously to the representation of the African-American experience in poetry and has been a kind of historical consciousness for her people and a public consciousness for us all," the judges said. Clifton, 71, is the first black woman to win the Lilly Prize, which was established in 1986 and is presented annually by the Poetry Foundation. Previous winners include such well-known poets as Adrienne Rich, John Ashbery, Donald Hall, Yusef Komunyakaa, and last year's winner, Richard Wilbur. "I'm a contemporary American poet who is African American and female," Clifton told USINFO when asked how she sees her work within the context of American poetry.

Recently, I came across the one I went on to discuss with students at Sichuan Normal University: " why some people be mad at me ," from Blessing the Boats: New and Selected Poems 1988-2000 (BOA Editions Ltd., 2000), poems selected from five of the ten volumes of poetry published by Clifton so far. A widely read and as widely enjoyed poet, as well as a prolific author of children's books, Clifton, born in 1936, has received innumerable awards, and has the unique honor of having two books of poems nominated in the same year as finalists for the Pulitzer Prize. She is currently a Distinguished Professor of Humanities at St. Mary's College in Maryland, and on the Board of Chancellors of the Academy of American Poets. In view of her widespread popularity, it is not surprising that when I was invited to give lectures on contemporary American poetry to classes in American Literature at Sichuan Normal University in Chengdu Province, I brought some Clifton poems along. That summer afternoon the auditorium and the broad sills of the low windows separating the hallway from the auditorium were overflowing with at least 300 students. Since it is best to pack a light suitcase , I packed three of Clifton's short poems, selecting for discussion Clifton's "
