curling them around i hold their bodies in obscene embrace thinking of everything but kinship. collards and kale strain against each strange other away from my kissmaking hand and the iron bedpot. the pot is black, the cutting board is black, my hand, and just for a minute the greens roll black under the knife, and the kitchen twists dark on its spine and I taste in my natural appetite the bond of live things everywhere.

won't you celebrate with me what i have shaped into a kind of life? i had no model. born in babylon both nonwhite and woman what did i see to be except myself? i made it up here on this bridge between starshine and clay, my one hand holding tight my other hand; come celebrate with me that everyday something has tried to kill me and has failed.

What can we learn from #LucilleClifton about restraint in poetry? I think a great deal. Come and write with me online, on May 27th, 7pm, we will explore the maxim - Less is More - and craft poems with understatement and power.

Your perspective, my perspective. Who writes history?
The human task is to know our own, and believe in one another’s too.

It’s World Poetry Day, so I pulled together a few poems I’ve been sitting with lately. Some are old favourites, some are newer discoveries — all of them made me pause.
