    Windsor Hills

    I hadn't heard of the Clifton House until I saw it on the website for Doors Open Baltimore 2024 (if…read moreyou don't know what Doors Open is, google it!). I'm so glad that my friend and I made a point it to visit it last weekend as a part of Doors Open. What a unique and special organization. Recognize the name Lucille Clifton? She was a poet who served as the Poet Laureate of Maryland from 1979 to 1985 and a two-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for poetry. Her husband Fred Clifton was a professor of philosophy and sculpture. The Cliftons had six children and lived in this home that is now The Clifton House for several years until the house was foreclosed on in 1980. In 2019, one of the Cliftons' daughters bought the home, and The Clifton House is now living a new life with a new purpose! The house is now a home to a nonprofit organization dedicated to continuing the legacy of poetry, art, activism, and community of the Cliftons. The organization is new and still growing and expanding. But it will eventually allow for artists in residence to reside in the home and write or create art where the Cliftons wrote and created their art. For now, it is housing and sponsoring events, workshops, classes, screenings, and more. Our visit on Doors Open included a great tour and explanation of where the Clifton House is and where it intends to go. I for one am excited to follow it and see what it offers to its community and the artistic community in our city. It's come a long way since being purchased by the Cliftons' daughter just before the pandemic, and I'm thrilled to be on their email list so I can visit again for an event again soon!
