Michelle Cliff's
week on campus
Jamaican writer Michelle Cliff
held this year's appointment
as Visiting Fellow at Cowell
College.
During her week on campus
January 13-17, Cliff participated in
classes being given in creative
writing, literature and women's
studies. She was the guest of honor
at "An Evening with Michelle Cliff,"
held in the Cowell Provost's House,
where she talked informally about
her life and career, the influences
on her work, and the adversities she
has had to deal with as a black, a
woman, and a writer in the distinct
cultures of Jamaica, Europe, and
the United States. On the final day
of her visit, the Committee on
Women's Studies joined Cowell College in sponsoring a reading by Cliff
from her recently completed novel,
No Telephone to Heaven in the new
Women's Center at the base of the
campus.
Cowell's Visiting Fellow program
brings to the campus leading professionals, like Cliff, whose ethnic
backgrounds have been historically

university.
The first two Visiting Fellows
were Robert Blackburn, artist and
arts administrator (1984), and
Daniel Valdez, musician, actor and
filmmaker (1985).
"Both Daniel Valdez and Robert
Blackburn have continued their relationship with the college and have
added, beyond their visit, to the intellectual resources available to
students here," says Cowell Provost
John Lynch. "We hope that
Michelle Cliff will also be willing to
further her association with Cowell,
its faculty, and its students."
