<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Selected poems from celebrated poet Lucille Clifton's 50-year career selected by Whiting Award-winning poet Aracelis Girmay.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>How to Carry Water: Selected Poems of Lucille Clifton</i> celebrates both familiar and lesser-known works by one of America's most beloved poets, including 10 newly discovered poems that have never been collected.</p> <p>These poems celebrating black womanhood and resilience shimmer with intellect, insight, humor, and joy, all in Clifton's characteristic style--a voice that the late Toni Morrison described as "seductive with the simplicity of an atom, which is to say highly complex, explosive underneath an apparent quietude." Selected and introduced by award-winning poet Aracelis Girmay, this volume of Clifton's poetry is simultaneously timeless and fitting for today's tumultuous moment.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Lucille Clifton (1936-2010) was an award winning poet, fiction writer, and author of children's books. Her poetry collection, <i>Blessing the Boats: New & Selected Poems 1988-2000 </i>(BOA, 2000), won the National Book Award for Poetry. In 1988 she became the only author to have two collections selected in the same year as finalists for the Pulitzer Prize, <i>Good Woman: Poems and a Memoir</i> (BOA, 1987), and <i>Next: New Poems</i> (BOA, 1987). In 1996, her collection <i>The Terrible Stories</i> (BOA, 1996), was a finalist for the National Book Award. Among her many other awards and accolades are the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize, the Frost Medal, and an Emmy Award. In 2013, her posthumously published collection <i>The Collected Poems of Lucille Clifton 1965-2010</i> (BOA, 2012), was awarded the Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for Poetry.
