Let's make this birthday one to remember.

89 years old (Born on June 27, 1936)

Happy Birthday to the incredible Lucille Clifton! Your poetry has danced gracefully through our hearts, bringing joy and wisdom with every verse. From "Good Times" that warmed us like sunshine, to "Blessing the Boats," which inspired courage in life's journeys—you've gifted readers timeless treasures.

And let's not forget your delightful children's stories—Everett Anderson's adventures have charmed generations of young minds, while tales like "Three Wishes" and "The Lucky Stone" continue sparking imaginations everywhere. Today we celebrate you for enriching literature with humor, warmth, and boundless creativity. May this birthday bring as much laughter and magic as you've given us all!
