About the Event
Ideas around lineage, ancestors, and connecting to the power of the “unseen” are themes that weave themselves throughout the work of Lucille Clifton. Taking its name from the poem “i was born with twelve fingers” that appears in her 1980 collection “two-headed woman”; a phrase that she often used to describe her spiritual connection, gifts, and abilities, which has direct roots in the Black Conjure and Hoodoo traditions.
The conversation will be followed by a brief Q&A with both Juju Bae and Hess Love.
