Acocella was lost to us early in 2024 —

read this collection of diverse portraits,

essays, mind-sweeps, whatever you wish to call them —

even one on Gianni Rodari — and

know what we have lost.

LUCILLE CLIFTON ~

 

won’t you celebrate with me

what i have shaped into

a kind of life? i had no model.

born in babylon

both nonwhite and woman

what did i see to be except myself?

i made it up

here on this bridge between

starshine and clay,

my one hand holding tight

my other hand; come celebrate

with me that everyday

something has tried to kill me

and has failed.
