African-American Authors The Book of David by Lucille Clifton The Book of David by Lucille Clifton Walter Benefield Articles in this Topic Discussions in this Topic May 18, 2001 Quintessential man, a man for all seasons, Poet, Musician and Warrior are some descriptions of the biblical King David, "Yet...a man after God's own heart", suffered as any ordinary man. Lucille Clifton in a series of poems, "the book of David" from her poetry collection entitled "the terrible stories" renders a portrait of a giant of a man as seen through her introspective eyes and put into words that ring up from the soul of King David himself. Heroic King David reflects on his past in "Dancer" when he is "old and full of days" if the world will remember "the dancer or the dance." Humanity at its foundational level will result in mistakes, oh "Son of Jesse" , "how could [You] be woman true dancing in a house of men" regrettably the answer to this question lies in the history of David's life.

Her father worked for the New York steel mills; her mother was a launderer, homemaker, and a vocational poet. Although neither parent was formally educated, they provided their large family with an appreciation and an abundance of books, especially those by African Americans. At age sixteen, Lucille entered college early, matriculating as a drama major at Howard University in Washington, D.C. Her Howard associates included such intellectuals as Sterling A. Brown, A. B. Spellman, Chloe Wofford (now Toni Morrison), who later edited her writings for Random House, and Fred Clifton, whom she married in 1958. After transferring to Fredonia State Teachers College in 1955, Clifton worked as an actor and began to cultivate in poetry the minimalist characteristics that would become her professional signature. Like other prominent Black Aesthetic poets consciously breaking with Euro-centric conventions, including Sonia Sanchez and her Howard colleague, LeRoi Jones (Amiri Baraka), Clifton developed such stylistic features as concise, untitled free verse lyrics of mostly iambic tri-meter lines, occasional slant rhymes, anaphora and other forms of repetition, puns and allusions, lowercase letters, sparse punctuation, and a lean lexicon of rudimentary but evocative words.
