Imagine Leda black-- begins Lyrae Van Clief-Stefanon's exciting new collection of poems. Mixing vernacular language with classical mythology, modern struggles with Biblical trials, she gives voice to silenced women past and present.
In Van Clief-Stefanon's powerful voice, last night's angry words puffed / into the dark room like steam / punching through the thick surface / of cooking grits. She remembers a child's innocence lost / in the house where I learned the red rug / against my chest, my knees / my tongue, . . . . Black Swan is filled with pain, loss, hope, and the promise of salvation.
