Brown Sterling Brown was born in Washington, D.C., in 1901. He was educated at Dunbar High School and received a bachelor's degree from Williams College. He studied the work of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot , but was more interested in the works of Amy Lowell Edgar Lee Masters Robert Frost and Carl Sandburg . In 1923, he earned a master's degree from Harvard University and was employed as a teacher at the Virginia Seminary and College in Lynchburg until 1926. Three years later, Brown began teaching at Howard University and in 1932 his first book, Southern Road , was published. His poetry was influenced by jazz, the blues, work songs and spirituals and, like Langston Hughes Jean Toomer Countee Cullen , and other black poets of the period, his writing expresses his concerns about race in America. Southern Road was well received by critics and Brown became part of the artistic tradition of the Harlem Renaissance, but with the arrival of the Depression, Brown could not find a publisher for his second book of verse. He turned to writing essays and focused on his career as a teacher at Howard, where he taught until his retirement in 1969. He finally published his second book of poetry, The Last Ride of Wild Bill , in 1975. Brown is known for his frank, unsentimental portraits of black people and their experiences, and the incorporation of African-American folklore and contemporary idiom into his verse. He died in 1989 in Takoma Park, Maryland.

The photo is from The Ann Arbor Poetry Forum photo by Roy Lewis Sterling Allen Brown Sterling Brown is one of the unsung heroes of African-American poetry. Born in 1901, died in 1989, Brown spent most of his life as an English professor at Howard University, where he taught a wide range of courses from Shakespeare to World Literature. While generations of students—Amiri Baraka and Gwendolyn Brooks being two of the most famous—have paid tribute to his influential teaching, his poetry was largely neglected during his lifetime. Brown grew up squarely in the black middle class of Washington, DC, but his interest in the lives of common folk took him from the lecture hall to the barrel house and the barbershop. While influenced by such American poetic masters as Robert Frost and Edgar Lee Masters, Brown’s poems managed to synthesize traditional poetic forms with the dialect of working-class African-Americans. The quote from Mark Patrick at At The Ann Arbor Poetry Forum 1996-1997 The verses resonate with the music of the life he saw around himthe blues sung to lost loves, chants of saints praying to be in the number, tragic-comic cries in the face of hatred and injustice, and jubilant songs of endurance and perseverance. Sterling Brown's poetic genius lies in his subtle adaptation of blues, spirituals, work songs, and ballads into silver threads that dazzle his spoken verse. The quote is from Smithsonian Folkways "In the beginning I never found poems in the American literary pantheon about the things I knew best. I decided that I would at least do my part and try to put some of those poems in there. At the time I was reading black American literature, mostly in anthologies. I didn't know about Sterling Brown. If I had, I would have taken a different approach...

Brown, Sterling, in full STERLING ALLEN BROWN (b. May 1, 1901, Washington, D.C., U.S.d. Jan. 17, 1989, Washington, D.C.), influential African-American teacher and literary critic whose poetry was rooted in folklore sources and black dialect. The son of a professor at Howard University, Washington, D.C., Brown was educated at Williams College, Williamstown, Mass. (A.B., 1922), and Harvard University (A.M., 1923). While teaching at several schools, he began collecting folk songs and stories from blacks. The people he met also served as the subject of the poetry he then began to write. In 1929 Brown began a 40-year teaching career at Howard, and in 1932 his first volume of poetry, Southern Road, was published. Musical forms, especially ballads, work songs, spirituals, and blues, were primary influences on his work. At a time when black dialect had been distorted into a stereotype by white writers, he boldly used authentic dialect and phonetic spelling in his poems. Though Southern Road was widely praised, Brown found no publisher for his second collection

Sterling A. Brown (1901-1989) Contributing Editor: John Edgar Tidwell Classroom Issues and Strategies Two problems come immediately to mind when I consider my past experiences in teaching Brown's poetry. First the relative obscurity of Brown's place in the American literary tradition is the biggest obstacle in teaching Brown because students think his presence in the syllabus requires some big justification. The second problem, ironically, is much more complicated. Because Brown is a black poet, students are quite willing to interpret his poetry in light of his "blackness," by which they generally mean hard luck, pain, and suffering imposed by "Jim Crow" laws. They are less willing to acknowledge Brown as a poet, one conscientiously crafting and representing experience in poetic form. Brown's fundamental assertion of a humanistic vision is rooted in the democratic principles of the U.S. Constitution. The way in which this assertion is set forth as compelling poetry sometimes escapes the vision of students, who often want to see him engaged in special pleading. They're often reluctant to see him in a tradition established by Robert Frost E. A. Robinson
