The wait is finally over! The Collected Poems of Lucille Clifton 1965-2010 are here! With the arrival of the first 200 copies to the BOA office just yesterday, our excitement for this landmark collection has reached its peak. The book is bigger - in every sense of the word - than any other book we've published, weighing in at a whopping 2.75 pounds of some of the best poetry in years. It is a stunning piece of art that we are thrilled to share with all of our readers! Starting today, advance copies of The Collected Poems of Lucille Clifton 1965-2010 are officially available for sale in the BOA Bookstore! You read that right; the book is ready to be yours today! We could not have published The Collected Poems of Lucille Clifton 1965-2010 without the generous $50,000 matching grant from the Lannan Foundation and the special support of our donors. Thank you for making this breathtaking collection possible!
