Analysis and comments on wishes for sons by Lucille Clifton

Comment 1 of 1, added on May 2nd, 2007 at 4:52 AM.

Men generally have no clue what its like to be a female, to tell you the
truth it just about sucks, Lucille Clifton realizes this and characterizes
it in a poem addressed to men, so that they may better understand women.
She is a voice for women. For men to better understand that women aren’t
feeble, docile creatures but strong and can endure great hardships that a
man would crumble under.
