Lucille
Clifton, whose powerful explorations of
race, womanhood, spirituality and morality have
made her one of America’s most admired poets,
will return to the SUNY Fredonia campus as a
Williams Distinguished Visiting Professor for a
two-day celebration of her poetry on April 2 and
3. She was a student here in the
mid-50s.
As part of its Spring Concert
with the Fredonia College Choir, the Fredonia
Women’s Choir will perform a concert of songs
set to Ms. Clifton’s poems on Monday, April 2,
at 8 p.m. in Rosch Recital Hall. On Tuesday,
April 3, at 7 p.m., Ms. Clifton will give a
poetry reading in King Concert Hall and follow
it with a book-signing. Both events are free and
open to the public.
Select pieces of Ms.
Clifton's poetry will be performed by the
Fredonia Women’s Choir, under the direction of
Donald P. Lang
of the SUNY Fredonia School of Music, with music
composed by Gwyneth Walker, formerly of the
Oberlin College Conservatory. Setting Ms.
Clifton’s poetry to music, Ms. Walker composed
“No Ordinary Woman” in 1997. The songs were
written specifically for a choir of female
voices and reveal the poet reflecting on her
self and her life.
