Critics call her one of the greatest writers of our time. Lucille Clifton was born in Depew, New York in 1936. She began writing poetry when She was about ten years old. She had developed an interest in poetry because of her mother，Thelma Sayles. Her mother was also a poet although her poems were never published. As a child Lucille would sit on her mothers lap and listen as she read poetry. She learned to love words and the power of words. That stayed with her as she grew. While her mother taught her to love poetry, her father gave her the gift of storytelling. He would tell Lucille interesting stories about her ancestors, especially the one named Lucille who was his grandmother. Samuel Clifton said she was the first black woman to be legally stayed in the state of Virginia. Lucille Clifton wrote about it in her poem called “Lucy” Lucille often talked about her love for words. She loved the sound of words and the way the words felt in her mouth. She loved finding interesting ways to use words to express what was happening in the world. Unlike her mother, Lucille Cliftons poetry is not traditional at all. Her poems do not rhyme or follow a special kind of pattern. They do not use fancy words. Her poetry is known for being simple, truthful and direct. It is written the way people speak, in a casual, relaxed language. There is very little punctuation and even less capitalization(首字母大写). Many of the poems are uncomfortably honest. Lucille Clifton often said that she tried to comfort the afflicted(磨折) and afflict the comfortable. Over the years, she seems to have perfected that art. 1 1. What can be learned from the passage? A.
