[Clifton wrote this remarkable poem after she was first diagnosed of breast Cancer at 58; after a recurrence 6 years later, she died … battling for life but never stopping to record her experiences in poetry… at the age of 73 in 2010.
without mentioning breast cancer, she uses words and images like ‘thumb of ice’, ‘thin icicles hanging off’, ‘one mad nipple weeping’ etc… to indicate it. ]
