Add to a Notebook Countee Cullen 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 several 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

Extractions: Cullen, Countee (1903-1946) Countee Cullen, an African-American poet of the Harlem Renaissance, was heralded as the "poet laureate" of the period. Cullen's birthplace is difficult to ascertain but is generally agreed to have been Louisville, Kentucky. Countee Leroy Porter (the name he used until 1920) was born on May 30, 1903, and was raised by his grandmother, Mrs. Porter, who brought him to New York when he was nine. On her death, the orphaned Cullen seems to have been adopted (around 1918) by the pastor Frederick A. Cullen of Salem Methodist Episcopal Church in Harlem. Cullen was educated at the prestigious DeWitt Clinton High School (1922), graduated Phi Beta Kappa from New York University (1925), and completed an M.A. in literature from Harvard (1926).

Extractions: Countee Cullen (1903-1946) Contributing Editor: Walter C. Daniel Students who read Cullen need to develop a clear understanding of the temper of the Harlem Renaissance period in U.S. literary development. In addition, they may need help with the classical allusions in "Yet Do I Marvel" and in "Simon the Cyrenian Speaks." Also, students should come to understand the reference to Scottsboro as the poet's criticism of his fellow poets' neglect of what he considers a significant matter (obviously, this requires knowing about the Scottsboro incident in 1931 and following). Cullen's first volume Color established him as a writer with an acute spiritual vision. Especially noteworthy in this respect is "Simon the Cyrenian Speaks," a work that eloquently makes use of Matthew 27:32 in order to suggest an analogue between blacks and Simon, the man who was compelled to bear the cross of Christ on his back. Sublimity was not Cullen's only strong point. In "Incident," the reader is brusquely catapulted into the all-too-realistic world of an impressionable eight-year-old as he experiences overt racism for the first time on a heretofore memorable ride through the history-filled streets of Baltimore. In 1927, Cullen edited a significant anthology of black poetry

Extractions: About Countee Cullen's Life and Career Gerald Early P The Book of American Negro Poetry (rev. ed., 1931): "There is not much to say about these earlier years of Cullenunless he himself should say it." And Cullenrevealing a temperament that was not exactly secretive but private, less a matter of modesty than a tendency toward being encoded and tactfulnever in his life said anything more clarifying. Sometime before 1918, Cullen was adopted by the Reverend Frederick A. and Carolyn Belle (Mitchell) Cullen. It is impossible to state with certainty how old Cullen was when he was adopted or how long he knew the Cullens before he was adopted. Apparently he went by the name of Countee Porter until 1918. By 1921 he became Countee P. Cullen and eventually just Countee Cullen. According to Harold Jackman, Cullen's adoption was never "official." That is to say it was never consummated through proper state-agency channels. Indeed, it is difficult to know if Cullen was ever legally an orphan at any stage in his childhood. Frederick Cullen was a pioneer black activist minister. He established his Salem Methodist Episcopal Church in a storefront mission upon his arrival in New York City in 1902, and in 1924 moved the Church to the site of a former white church in Harlem where he could boast of a membership of more than twenty-five hundred. Countee Cullen himself stated in
