A prompt in this year's Book Riot Reader Harder Challenge is "Read a book of poetry by a BIPOC or queer author." I thought immediately of Ms. Clarke's poetry books -- she is a Black lesbian -- so I snatched this one off the shelf last night, spent some time with each poem again. Still very powerful although less startingly fresh than they were in 1990, the year after they were published. I wish I could have evoked Ms. Clarke's delivery, the cadence of her expressive voice. I could almost hear an echo of it in "Ella Takes Up the Slack," which I remember as one of the poems she read that evening. Two of my favorites in the collection are "The Day Sam Cooke Died" and "Epic of Song." ( )
