As Reviewed By: Justin Quinn A ssimilation Blessing the Boats: New and Selected Poems 1988-2000 by Lucille Clifton. Boa Editions. 132pp. $15.00 E-mail this site to a friend Lucille Clifton came to prominence in the Black Arts movement in the late 1960s, but this selected poems covers a less dramatic period as the poet moves into middle- and then old-age. As in the careers of most poets as they progress, elegy is evermore present, as well as the themes of illness, childhood reminiscence, as well as poems for and about children. Another important strand of her work treats of themes such as feminism and sex through the lens of mythological personae. However, she remains preoccupied with issues of negritude and race, and the social injustice still attendant upon these in the United States. The poetic style of the book is more or less uniform throughout: free-verse lines that range between one and three stresses; extensive use of dramatic monologue and autobiographical anecdote; and her chosen orthography removes all capitalisation. The Furious Flowering of African-American Poetry , ed. Joanne V. Gabbin [UP of Virginia, 1999]). The result of their stylistic uncertainties is that many have fallen into the present period style, a good example of which is Clifton's "photograph", which is subtitled "my grandsons / spinning in their joy" and which I give in full:
