Black Swan (Electronic book text)
Lyrae Van Clief-StefanonWinner of the 2001 Cave Canem Prize
Selected by Marilyn Nelson
Finalist, 2003 Paterson Poetry Prize
Imagine Leda black begins Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanons exciting new collection of poems. Mixing vernacular language with classical mythology, modern struggles with Biblical trials, she gives voice to silenced women past and present.
In Van Clief-Stefanons powerful voice, last nights angry words puffed / into the dark room like steam / punching through the thick surface / of cooking grits. She remembers a childs innocence lost / in the house where I learned the red rug / against my chest, my knees / my tongue, . . . . "Black Swan" is filled with pain, loss, hope, and the promise of salvation.
