   Countee Cullen (190346). The poet Countee Cullen was one of the major contributors to the 1920s literary movement known as the Harlem Renaissance.  
   http://www.poetrytodayonline.com/NOVcp.html
   
   Extractions: U.S. poet, born in New York, N.Y.; wrote of comedy and tragedy in life of black Americans with lyric, wistful beauty. The poet Countee Cullen was one of the major contributors to the 1920s literary movement known as the Harlem Renaissance. Through his verse, Cullen gave expression to the character of African-American life as he experienced it. The Harlem Renaissance, a period of great achievement in African-American art and literature, was pushed to a new high with the 1925 publication of Cullen's volume of poems entitled Color . His sensuous lyric verse expressed themes in the life of his race and shed light on social reality. Cullen's other verse collections include: Copper Sun The Ballad of the Brown Girl (1927) and The Black Christ (1929). His novel, One Way to Heaven , appeared in 1932. Cullen was awarded the Witter Bynner Undergraduate Poetry Prize from New York University. According to his friend and literary collaborator Arna Bontemps, Cullen was much preoccupied with the question of whether he would be remembered as a poet or as a "Negro poet." "Almost his only public comments about the art in which he expressed himself were pleas for an evaluation of his work strictly on its merits, without racial considerations. He was to learn, however, that this was no easy matter." The Saturday Review, March 23, 1947 p. 44. In the monument pictured below, the artist has rendered the question rather than the answer, exploring an issue we still face today, 50 years after the poet's death. A bronze-colored Countee Cullen is portrayed reaching out to a bust of himself in the traditional representation of a poet: a white marble-colored bust crowned with a laurel wreath. His other hand holds his book "Color."

    Extractions: A B C D ... Scholars Index Call and Response: The Riverside Anthology of the African American Literary Tradition by Patricia Liggins Hill (Editor), Bernard W. Bell (Editor), Trudier Harris, Patricia Liggins Hill (Editor) More than a decade in the making, Call and Response is a ground-breaking anthology of African American literature, unique in its placing equal emphasis on the written and the oral dimensions of the black aesthetic. It traces the centuries-long emergence of this distinct literary tradition from its earliest roots in African proverbs, folktales, and chants to its latest flowering in the works of such writers as Rita Dove, August Wilson, and Terry McMillan. Here, in 2,000 pages and 550 selections, is (in the words of Richard Wright) the "long black song" of African American life, sung in a great choir of voices, from the slaves of the 1600s to the rap artists, orators, novelists, and poets of today.

    Extractions: Born in 1903 in New York City, Countee Cullen was raised in a Methodist parsonage. He attended De Witt Clinton High School in New York and began writing poetry at the age of fourteen. In 1922, Cullen entered New York University. His poems were published in The Crisis, under the leadership of W. E. B. Du Bois, and Opportunity, a magazine of the National Urban League. He was soon after published in Harper's, the Century Magazine, and Poetry. He won the Witter Bynner Undergraduate Poetry Prize and other awards for his poem, Ballad of the Brown Girl , and graduated from New York University in 1923. That same year, Harper published his first volume of verse, Color, and he was admitted to Harvard University where he completed a master's degree. His second volume of poetry, Copper Sun (1927), met with controversy in the black community because Cullen did not give the subject of race the same attention he had given it in Color. He was raised and educated in a primarily white community, and he differed from other poets of the Harlem Renaissance like Langston Hughes in that he lacked the background to comment from personal experience on the lives of other blacks or use popular black themes in his writing. An imaginative lyric poet, he wrote in the tradition of Keats and Shelley and was resistant to the new poetic techniques of the Modernists. He died in 1946. Cullen's other verse collections include:
