Hello Friends,
If you have 2 minutes to spare, I highly recommend you listen to Lucille Clifton read today’s poem, along with her introduction about the origins of this poem, in a 2007 recording from the University of Arizona Poetry Center. “why some people be mad at me sometimes” appeared in Clifton’s 1987 collection Next.
Enjoy,
Ællen
