Poetry Everywhere: "won't you celebrate with me" by Lucille Clifton

[@jessicahope9744]

One of my favorite poems of all time. Powerful, ambitious, unapologetic and audacious. It does make me want to celebrate.

I listen to this poem every day, now.

I have loved her poetry for decades, was so blessed to see her reading at an event in San Francisco long ago..She still shines in our lives.
