Great to hear about the upcoming publication of the Collected Poems of Lucille Clifton.
How about translations of her poems into various languages? Are there any plans to somehow include them?
Are you aware into how many languages her poems have been translated?
I have translated several into Polish; four of these were published in Poland in the literary quarterly “Akcent.” Lucille was happy about that. -

What wonderful news. Can’t wait to hold that book in my hands. And read those poems, cover to cover.
The Collected Poems of Lucille Clifton will be released on Sept 11, 2012!
