6. Poetry Today Online : Classic Poets: Countee Cullen
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
November 1998 Countee Cullen
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."

COUNTEE CULLEN He lived with his maternal mother until he was thirteen and was then adopted by the Reverend Frederick A.Cullen, minister of the Salem African Methodist Episcopal Church in Harlem. Cullen attended De Witt Clinton High School in the Bronx and New York University. He developed early as a poet, “I Have a Rendezvous with Life,” “The Ballad of the Brown Girl,” and “The Shroud of Color" are poems that Cullen included in Color (1925), his first book of verse, published the same year that he graduated from NYU. The young writer also served as an assistant editor of Opportunity: Journal of Negro Life , edited by Charles S. Johnson, the well-known Negro sociologist. Through his position on Opportunity , Cullen came to know the important writers of the Negro Awakening: Langston Hughes, Zora N. Hurston, Eric Walrond, E. Franklin Frazier, Claude McKay, Jean Toomer, Arna Bontemps, and Sterling Brown. In 1927 the poet published two other volumes of verse - Copper Sun and The Ballad of the Brown Girl - and edited an anthology of Negro poetry

Countee Cullen was born Countee Porter on May 30, 1903, in New York. He was the adopted son of Reverend and Mrs. Frederick Ashbury Cullen. Reverend Cullen was an influential minister who pastored Salem Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the largest churches in Harlem at that time. "I Have a Rendezvous With Life," Cullen's first published poem, appeared in the DeWitt Clinton High School literary magazine, The Magpie , in 1921. He had been writing poetry since he was in elementary school. DeWitt Clinton was considered to be one of the finest public schools in New York at the time and very few African-American students were enrolled there. Young Countee did very well in school and was elected to class office as well as serving in an editorial capacity on several of his school publications. He was elected to ARISTA, the scholastic honor society, and upon graduation, received distinctions in Latin, mathematics, English, history and French. In 1925, Cullen graduated from New York University with honors. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and was nationally known as a poet by then. His first book of poems

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.

This 1920s artistic movement produced the first large body of work in the United States written by African Americans. However, Cullen considered poetry raceless, although his 'The Black Christ' took a racial theme, lynching of a black youth for a crime he did not commit. I doubt not God is good, well-meaning, kind,
And did He stoop to quibble could tell why
The little buried mole continues blind,
Why flesh that mirrors Him must someday die,
Make plain the reason tortured Tantalus
Is baited by the fickle fruit, declare
If merely brute caprice dooms Sisyphus
To struggle up a never-ending stair.
Inscrutable His ways are, and immune
To catechism by a mind too strewn With petty cares to slightly understand What awful brains compels His awful hand. Yet do I marvel at this curious thing: To make a poet black, and bid him sing!

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:
