Lauded by luminaries such as Gwendolyn Brooks, Adrienne Rich, and
Joy Harjo, among others, the work of African American lesbian poet
Cheryl Clarke has spoken on behalf of the black, feminist and gay
movements for more than 25 years. Her writing has earned her distinction
as a contemporary black feminist icon in the tradition of June Jordan.
In fact, few writers have tackled hot-button issues of race and
sexuality with as much force or fearless humor as Clarke. The Days of
Good Looks — her first new book of poetry in a decade — collects the
author's most popular poems and essays along with an array of new
unpublished writing.
