This special installment of Poetry & Play speaks directly to our current production TWILIGHT: LOS ANGELES, 1992. Enjoy Dr. Juhanna Rogers reading "4/30/92 for rodney king" by Lucille Clifton. Lucille Clifton's poem captures the rage felt by many following the acquittals in the Rodney King beating trial. But the poem’s piercing rhetorical questions should not be read simply as hopelessness; they are plaintive cries for justice. In its crystalline brevity, Clifton’s prophetic p...oem matches the pertinence of TWLIGHT: LOS ANGELES, 1992. Both speak powerfully to our now. TWILIGHT is available to stream through Feb. 14: https://syracusestage.org/showinfo.php?id=102
