An Annotated Bibliography of Secondary Sources about Lucille Clifton's Poetry By the students in English 260: Approaches to Literary Studies Marygrove College, Winter 2000 Hull, Akasha (Gloria). "Channeling the Ancestral Muse: Lucille Clifton and Delores Kendrick." Feminist Measures Soundings in Poetry and Theory . Eds. Lynne Keller and Christanne Miller. Ann Arbor: U of Michigan P, 1994. 96-116. This essay opens with two short anecdotes that reveal how the two authors developed their distinctive writing styles. Clifton's initiation into the spiritual world began with the use of an old Ouija board, which spelled out the name of her deceased mother . After subsequent encounters, Clifton began to consciously acknowledge the spiritual realm. This would manifest itself in her next volume of poems entitled Two Headed Woman . The second anecdote describes Delores Kendrick's first encounter with the "other" realm . One night Kendrick was having trouble sleeping , so she read slave narratives. When she awoke the next morning, she had "an insistent urge to write a poem" based on one of the narratives she had read the night before. This began a process by which she would sit down with a stack of narratives, and let the voices come to her. The poems that flowed from this would make up her volume entitled Women of Plums: Poems in the Voices of Slave Women.

Sandra Gilbert (1992) String Light is under review by Sandra Gilbert, co-author with Susan Gubar of critical studies of American women writers.] [T]he same unswerving directness that impels "Our Dust" also marks a number of other poems in String Light. "Mons Venus," for example, becomes, among other things, a kind of sardonic credo for the new "homegirls" of America: We are the single women: we work to support our cars. We come home to a good robe, a loofah for the backbone. No one mans the caboose. Whatever the weather, the pulp mills smell like bodies rotting in the rain. or particles of sand scrubbed from our cracks. Remember Williams’s "To Elsie" – Elsie who proved that "The pure products of America / go crazy," especially when they’re "young slatterns" from Appalachia? Well, what a relief it is to find her here, talking back to the good doctor! Elsewhere in String Light – for instance, in the subtly (and comically) political :Living" and the coolly nostalgic "Ozark Odes" – Wright writes more sparely, though with qual vividness. Williams, in fact, might have admired her "Porch" (from "The Ozark Odes"), which reads in its entirety: trimming the red tufts But he might have admired, too, the frank and yearning nativism of "Lake Return," which provides in two lines a summary of Wright’s project at its most ambitious: "Why I come here: need for a bottom, something to refer to; / where all things visible and invisible commence to swarm."

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things. The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed. And on the pedestal these words appear: 'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings: Behold all my works, ye mighty, and despair!' Nothing beside remains.

HOME VOL.20 NO.43 BOOKS : READINGS Readings BY MARION WINIK June 22, 2001: Life After Death A Novel by Carol Muske-Dukes Random House, 275 pp., $23.95 Carol Muske-Duke's third novel (she is also well-known as the author of six books of poetry) takes an unusually composed look at death composed both in the sense of being calm and unsentimental, and also as in a : an aesthetically driven arrangement of distinct ingredients. It is as if the events surrounding the death of Russell Schaefer are felt and seen from a slight distance. But given the luridness that might ordinarily attend the story of the sudden death of a young, wealthy husband and father, the subtlety of the book is remarkable. Boyd Schaefer, the dead man's wife, has the very unsettling experience of having her last words to her alcoholic poet husband turn out to have been "Do me a favor, Russell. Die." Her rage is perfectly understandable: The man abandoned their 4-year-old daughter in a park while he went to get a drink. Someone else brought little Freddy home. And Russell keeps insisting he got stuck inside a statue of Sneezy while playing hide'n'seek. Unfortunately, Russell does die, the very next morning, plunging Boyd into widowhood with an unusually heavy burden of guilt and doubt. Russell's death looks nothing like a suicide and yet Boyd is sure there is more to it than meets the eye.

Ask Kytka What About Poetry in the Waldorf Curriculum? J anuary 4, 2003 I love words. I love language and literature and books.... I believe that I could even eat words instead of food to sustain me. In the Waldorf Pedagogy, art, literature, poetry, and drama are integrated into the curriculum at every point and bring the academic subjects to life. Based on a deep insight into childhood and child development, the real value of the Waldorf approach lies in how and when subjects are taught, and this artistic approach is the key. Typically, each day begins with verse and movement. For example, in the second grade, children practice their multiplication tables by counting emphatically as they march or skip to different number patterns. Math learned in this active way is never forgotten. Verse, rhyme and repetition are always brought into the lessons. To develop a picture, an imagination, for who children are from an understanding of how heredity (nature), upbringing and environment (nurture), karma (relationships) and the character of the incarnating individuality merge in the developing personality. Steiner believed that art, in many forms ­ poetry, painting, drawing, sculpture and modeling, singing and movement is an integral part of the main intellectual and academic learning and should not be considered a decorative activity. Similarly, the acquisition of manual skills, and the practice of activities that meaningfully cultivate this, is an essential part of developing a harmoniously balanced human being. This means that language arts harmonize the soul and spirit in the body.
