The Artist Connection: Remembering Lucille Clifton

Maryland this week mourns one of her poet laureates -- Lucille Clifton -- who celebrated life as a black person and as a woman. A victim of child abuse, she because a strong voice for victims everywhere. For a bit of background and several of her poems, visit http://www.poets.org/poet.php/prmPID/79. And here you can hear her read "homage to my hips." Enjoy and remember.

When we meet

Magic happens, creative people share their visions and inspirations. It's about the very early feeling of a rumbling of a new idea, of how a seed is set and how it grows and takes form. It's about creating space to let the new seed grow.
It's a brotherhood of creativity -- -- blood brothers bonded by the pursuit of a dream. It's the scaffolding and support system for ephemeral dreams. It's creating self accountability to have dreams come true. It's about listening to the calling and letting its meaning be felt. It's honoring the lifecycle of the creative process -- -- a support group for self-expression. It's the excitement of witnessing a new idea becoming manifest -- -- something from nothing, creation.

Books ---- that touch the creative process
