Published originally by Carroll and Graf, The Days of Good Looks: the Prose and Poetry of Cheryl Clarke, 1980-2005 is a luminous compendium of my critical writings.  I have written on behalf of the black, lesbian, feminist, and gay movements since 1980.  This book collects what I feel are my most popular poems and essays with an array of previously unpublished writing.  “Clarke’s work is unfailingly witty, perceptive, sexy, and sensual, taking us on her freedom train of thought and into her inner musings as she skewers social, racial, gender, and sexual orientation inequities”–Booklist.  Totally out of print.
