Sports Feb. 26-March 2, 2000 Appreciating Gwendolyn Brooks Urban Poet Earlier this week, a group of poets and scholars assembled at New York University to pay tribute to poet Gwendolyn Brooks. It was the latest show of appreciation for a writer who provided readers with a vivid picture of black culture over a seven-decade career. As a teenager, Brooks submitted poems about her family to several black newspapers in Chicago, Illinois. And she was only in her twenties when she published her first collection of poems, A Street in Bronzeville, in 1945. Her second book of poetry, Annie Allen, won a Pulitzer Prize in 1949. Elizabeth Alexander, a poet who teaches African American Studies at Yale, says that Brooks' local community provided her with inspiration. "She was living at the time, as she did for years and years and years, on the South Side of Chicago. And she wrote about regular folks who lived in the 'kitchenette apartments' as they were called then of Chicago's great South Side." Poet Quarysh Ali Lansana studied with Brooks in Chicago. He says that her poetry offered windows through which most Americans had not looked. "She opened up a path into the insides of ordinary black life," Lansana explains. "I think that she really went into the day-to-day, the tiny struggles, the issues of the people she called the 'littles.' These were the folks who were trying to get to the next meal, trying to make it to work the next day, trying to raise healthy children."

64. Brooks, Gwendolyn (1917-2000) back, brooks, gwendolyn (19172000). gwendolyn brooks was an American poet. In 1950, she became the first black American to win a Pulitzer Prize. http://www2.worldbook.com/features/whm/html/gbrooks.html

Brooks, Gwendolyn (1917-2000) Gwendolyn Brooks was an American poet. In 1950, she became the first black American to win a Pulitzer Prize. She received the award for Annie Allen (1949), her second collection of poetry. The central poem is a story about the experiences of a black girl growing up in America during World War II (1939-1945). Brooks was born in Topeka, Kansas. She grew up in the Chicago community called "Bronzeville." This area provided the setting for her first book of poems, A Street in Bronzeville (1945), and for a book of children's poems, Bronzeville Boys and Girls (1956). In her early poetry, Brooks attacked racial discrimination, praised black American heroes, and satirized both blacks and whites. Brooks's skillful use of short, rapid verse lines and seemingly casual rhymes increased the effectiveness of her biting wit. Selected Poems (1963) includes many of the best poems from her early writing. The year 1968 marks a dividing line in Brooks's work. In her writings both before and after 1968, Brooks showed her commitment to racial identity and equality for blacks. However, in her earlier work, she showed great mastery of European-American poetic styles and techniques. Her later work became more militant and nationalistic. This verse was written in a style that included black language and rituals, and placed black solidarity above the demands of art for its own sake. Her later poetry is represented in In the Mecca (1968), Riot (1970), Aloneness (1971), and To Disembark (1981). She published a novel, Maud Martha (1953), and an autobiography, Report from Part One (1972). Brooks was the poet laureate of Illinois.

She is a witty poet who satirizes blacks and whites and attacks racial discrimination. She uses black language and rituals to proclaim black solidarity. WHEN YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN SUNDAY: THE LOVE STORY That the war would be over before they got to you; And when you have forgotten the bright bedclothes on a Wednesday and a Saturday, And most especially when you have forgotten Sunday - When you have forgotten Sunday halves in bed, Or me sitting on the front-room radiator in the limping afternoon Looking off down the long street To nowhere, Hugged by my plain old wrapper of no-expectation And if-Monday-never-had-to-come When you have forgotten that, I say, And how you swore, if somebody beeped the bell

Childhood Romanticizing: An Annotation of Gwendolyn Brooks' "The Ballad of Late Annie" Katie Rosensteele "The Ballad of Late Annie" is one of several poems from Gwendolyn Brooks' "Notes from the Childhood and the Girlhood" section of her book Annie Allen . Published in 1949, Annie Allen, a mock epic of an African-American girl growing up in a time of increasing social tension, illustrated the existence of a black struggle that did not break into the American mainstream until the birth of the Civil Rights Movement ten years later. It is comprised of four different parts; "Notes from the Childhood and the Girlhood," "The Anniad," "Appendix to the Anniad," and "The Womanhood." In "The Ballad of Late Annie," Brooks introduces her anti-hero Annie, a childish, proud girl. In "Notes from the Childhood and the Girlhood," we see Annie's immaturity and idealism. Her childish nature is evident when she disrespects her deceased relative by sticking out her tongue while peering over the coffin in the poem "Old Relative." Annie asserts her pride and self-respect in "The Ballad of Late Annie." Annie's lamentation for her late husband continues in the "Appendix to the Anniad;" "They took my lover's tallness off to war...Now I cannot guess what I will use an empty heart-cup for" (51). After witnessing the cruelties of adulthood, her childhood romanticizing becomes desperation, evident in the poem "What shall I give my children? who are poor." In this section, motherhood becomes the most important part of Annie's life.

Gwendolyn Brooks Also known as: Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks, Mrs. Gwendolyn Brooks 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. By the age of sixteen, Brooks had compiled a substantial portfolio, including about seventy-five published poems. After completing high school in 1935, she attended Wilson Junior College and graduated with a degree in English in 1936. Brooks then worked briefly as a cleaning woman and secretary to a "spiritual advisor" who sold potions and charms to residents of the Mecca, a Chicago tenement building. In 1937, she became the publicity director of the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) Youth Council.

A SUNSET OF THE CITY Already I am no longer looked at with lechery or love. My daughters and sons have put me away with marbles and dolls, Are gone from the house. My husband and lovers are pleasant or somewhat polite And night is night. It is a real chill out, The genuine thing. I am not deceived, I do not think it is still summer Because sun stays and birds continue to sing. It is summer-gone that I see, it is summer-gone. The sweet flowers indrying and dying down, The grasses forgetting their blaze and consenting to brown. It is a real chill out. The fall crisp comes I am aware there is winter to heed. There is no warm house That is fitted with my need. I am cold in this cold house this house Whose washed echoes are tremulous down lost halls. I am a woman, and dusty, standing among new affairs. I am a woman who hurries through her prayers. Tin intimations of a quiet core to be my Desert and my dear relief Come: there shall be such islanding from grief, And small communion with the master shore. Twang they. And I incline this ear to tin
