Extractions: (b. June 7, 1917, Topeka, Kan., U.S.), American poet whose works deal with the everyday life of urban blacks. She was the first black poet to win the Pulitzer Prize, and in 1968 she was named the poet laureate of Illinois. Brooks graduated from Wilson Junior College in 1936. Her early verses appeared in the Chicago Defender a newspaper written primarily for the black community of Chicago. Her first published collection, A Street in Bronzeville (1945), reveals her talent for making the ordinary life of her neighbours extraordinary. Annie Allen (1949), for which she won the Pulitzer Prize, is a loosely connected series of poems related to a black girl's growing up in Chicago. The same theme was used for Brooks's novel Maud Martha The Bean Eaters (1960) contains some of her best verse. Her Selected Poems (1963) was followed in 1968 by In the Mecca, half of which is a long narrative poem about people in the Mecca, a vast, fortresslike apartment building erected on the South Side of Chicago in 1891, which had long since deteriorated into a slum. The second half of the book contains individual poems, among which the most noteworthy are "Boy Breaking Glass" and "Malcolm X." Brooks also wrote a book for children, Bronzeville Boys and Girls (1956). The autobiographical

Extractions: Poet "Very early in life I became fascinated with the wonders language can achieve. And I began playing with words." Born June 7, 1917, in Topeka, Kansas, poet Gwendolyn Brooks is the first African American writer to win a Pulitzer Prize. She is best known for her sensitive portraits of urban blacks who encounter racism and poverty in their daily lives. Although she was born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1917, Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and has always considered it her hometown. Her mother, Keziah Wims Brooks, was a schoolteacher, while her father, David Anderson Brooks, was a janitor who had been forced to abandon his dream of becoming a doctor because he didn't have enough money to finish school. The family also included a son, Raymond, who was sixteen months younger than his sister. The Brooks household was a happy one, and Gwendolyn thrived on a steady diet of love and encouragement from her parents, who read stories and sang songs to their two children. The outside world, however, was somewhat less supportive. According to Kent, as a youngster Gwendolyn "was spurned by members of her own race because she lacked social or athletic abilities, a light skin, and good grade hair." Hurt by such rejection, the little girl took comfort in the solitary pursuits of reading and writing. She composed her first poem at the age of seven and by the age of eleven was regularly entering her thoughts in a notebook. "I felt that I had to write," she later explained in an Ebony article. "Even if I had never been published, I knew that I would go on writing, enjoying it and experiencing the challenge." When her parents discovered her aptitude for writing, they excused her from many household chores and set up a desk at which she could work.

Brooks's poems, technically accomplished and written in a variety of forms including quatrains, free verse, ballads, and sonnets, deal with the experience of being black and often of being female in America. She attracted critical attention with her first volume, A Street in Bronzeville (1945). Brooks went on to win the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for poetry for Annie Allen (1949), becoming the first black woman to win this award. Her verse was collected in The World of Gwendolyn Brooks (1970), which also includes an earlier novelette, Maud Martha (1953). Her work took on a more radical tone beginning with

My influences included James Weldon Johnson Langston Hughes Ezra Pound 'T. S. Eliot' cummings Although she was born on 7 June 1917 in Topeka, Kansasthe first child of David and Keziah BrooksGwendolyn Brooks is "a Chicagoan." The family moved to Chicago shortly after her birth, and despite her extensive travels and periods in some of the major universities of the country, she has remained associated with the city's South Side. What her strong family unit lacked in material wealth was made bearable by the wealth of human capital that resulted from warm interpersonal relationships. When she writes about families thatdespite their daily adversitiesare not dysfunctional, Gwendolyn Brooks writes from an intimate knowledge reinforced by her own life. Brooks attended Hyde Park High School, the leading white high school in the city, but transferred to the all-black Wendell Phillips, then to the integrated Englewood High School. In 1936 she graduated from Wilson Junior College. These four schools gave her a perspective on racial dynamics in the city that continues to influence her work.

Gwendolyn Brooks Just to see the sun rise and see people in their ordinary lives doing their ordinary daily tasks was extraordinary for Gwendolyn Brooks. As a poet and novelist, Gwendolyn believed that what she needed to write about were the ordinary things people did, because in them was magic. It was this belief that paved the way for her, the first black woman, to receive the Pulitzer Prize (1950) in poetry for her work Annie Allen (1949). Her other major works include A Street in Bronzeville The Bean Eaters Selected Poems In Mecca (1968), and one novel for children Maud Martha (1953). In her career as a poet she was also a wife, mother, and a teacher. She was eventually named Illinois' Poet Laureate in 1968, and served as the Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress from 1985-1986. She has been awarded over 50 honorary doctorates, and many prizes and awards. She is the only American to receive the Society of Literature Award from the University of Thessaloniki, Athens, Greece in 1990. A couple of her most notable contributions to learning has been to sponsor many poetry contests (in which she used her own money as rewards), and the many workshops she has taught encouraging young people to write.
