March is Women's History Month and here, today, I celebrate by acknowledging a special woman, Lucille Clifton (1936-2010). From 1979–1985 Clifton served as Poet Laureate of Maryland. Her poetry celebrates both her African-American heritage and her womanhood. Here is "album," a poem in Clifton's spare and un-capitalized style -- and containing a few numbers to help us keep track of the times that are changing.
