Blessing the Boats draws together poems from across Lucille Clifton's career, showcasing the stunning simplicity and grace with which she addressed the whole of human experience- birth, death, children, family, illness, sexuality and injustice in antebellum and contemporary America. Hers is a poetry that is passionate and wise, not afraid to rage or whisper; a poetry that speaks unparalleled candour and empathy to the personal, the political and the spiritual.
