OBSCURE POET

 

CLARISSA SCOTT DELANY.  (1901-1927)

Poet, essayist, educator, social worker

Associated with the Harlem Renaissance

Had 4 poems published

Poems were allegorical in nature

JOY

Joy shakes me like the wind that lifts the sail

Like the roistering wind

That laughs through stalwart pines

It floods me like the sun

On rain-drenched trees

That flash with silver and green.

I abandon myself to joy

I laugh-I sing,

Too long have I walked a desolate way

Too long stumbled down a maze 

Bewildered.

NOIR FAN

I loved watching detective stories on TV growing up. The movies were plentiful in the theaters. When I read the books below, I was like a kid in a candy store.

There are noir stories set in other cities here and around the world.  I have read five of these books and plan on reading more of them.
