At the Gate gathers more than seventy previously unpublished poems by the iconic American poet Lucille Clifton written over the last two decades of her life. Discovered in digital archives by poet and scholar Kazim Ali, these poems span a prolific and reflective period in Clifton's career as she shifted from typewriters to word processors and desktop computers. Many were originally drafted for publication, but set aside--until now.
Edited by Ali, this collection includes a contextual Foreword and detailed notes that illuminate Clifton's late writing process and the editorial journey of these poems--deepening and expanding the themes that defined Clifton's celebrated body of work.
At the Gate is a profound and necessary addition to Clifton's legacy--one that reaffirms her place as a poet of the body, the spirit, and the deep truths that we must endure--her voice as intimate, fearless, and luminous as ever.
