Claude McKay Activities This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. Born in Jamaica, Claude McKay came to America to study agriculture at Tuskegee Institute, a historically black university founded by Booker T. Washington. After two years, he transferred to Kansas State College, but soon realized that his talents were better suited to writing than farming. In 1917, McKay arrived in Greenwich Village, where he sought out the company of artists and activists, both white and black. In fact, his ability to straddle both worlds easily became a source of envy and respect among his contemporaries. In those opening years of the Harlem Renaissance, McKay's poetry helped attract attention to the city and to the struggle for a new African American literary voice. While the earlier poetry that he had written in Jamaica used dialect, his writing in America relied on traditional poetic forms. His electrifying sonnet "If We Must Die" made him famous; it also worked as a call to arms for African Americans living through the

Claude McKay (1890-1948) Though not a native American, Jamaican born Claude McKay was one of the most prominent figures in the Harlem Renaissance. His "If We Must Die" was published in the Liberator in 1919, making it one of the very first poems initiating the tone, subject, and matter of the literary movement. Here are a few lines from the text: If we must die, let it not be like hogs Hunted and penned in an inglorious spot, . . . Like men we’ll face the muderous, cowardly pack, Pressed to the wall, dying, but fighting back! The content of "If We Must Die" is revolutionarya quality evident in much of McKay’s writing. As the poem suggests, McKay believed part of a poet’s job is to politically inform the minds of the people. During his lifetime, he often spoke out against and wrote about the institutionalized racism of governments in the world’s most powerful countries like America and England. He traveled from Jamaica to America, Great Britain and the Soviet Union studying the oppression of different peoples and advocating political change. His political ideas were exemplified early in his literary career by the presence of dialect and island culture in his poetry. They also appeared in his fiction in which he often captured the working class black who struggled to make it in his allotted life. His novels include

If we must die, O let us nobly die So that our precious blood may not be shed In vain; then even the monsters we defy Shall be constrained to honor us though dead! O kinsmen! We must meet the common foe! Though far outnumbered let us show us brave, And for their thousand blows deal one death blow! What though before us lies the open grave?

ChickenBones: A Journal Home Negro Catholic Writers (1900-1943): A Bio-Bibliography By Sister Mary Anthony Scally, R.S.M. Librarian, Mount St. Agnes College Baltimore Claude McKay One of the most distinguished poets of our time, Claude McKay (1890-1948) was born in Sunny Ville, Jamaica, British West Indies (15 September), the son of Thomas Francis and Ann Elizabeth (Edwards) McKay. By Jamaican standards, McKay's family was fairly well off having received land from the bride's and the groom's fathers. Claude was the last of eleven children born to Thomas and Ann (Hannah, in some texts) McKay. Before he left Jamaica in 1913, McKay published, just after he turned twenty, Songs of Jamaica and Constab Ballads . For seventeen months, laude McKay was a policeman. He seemed to have regretted later having been "an agent of colonial oppression in a most brutal manner." In both works McKay made extensive use of the Jamaican language known as a patois of English. he was the first Negro to receive the medal of the Institute of the Arts and Sciences. After McKay left Jamaica, he never returned. In 1913, McKay came to the United States and enrolled in Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute with the intent to study agriculture. During the year, he left Tuskegee and enrolled at Kansas State College where he remained until 1914. He then went to new York. From 1915 to 1918, McKay worked as a waiter and a porter. During this period he published his work in small literary magazines, such as The Seven Arts Magazine (1917), Pearson's (1918, then edited by Frank Harris), and

NM Introduction by Nelson Miller I: Life Festus Claudius McKay was born September 15, 1889, in Clarendon Parish, Jamaica. Interested in poetry from his childhood, he published two volumes, Songs of Jamaica and Constab Ballads , in 1912. Both volumes were largely in Jamaican dialect and celebrated the lives of the poor. In the same year, he left for the United States to study agronomy. After two years he left college and traveled to New York, first to start a restaurant (which soon failed), then to hold a series of odd jobs. During this time, he continued to write poetry, but moved from the use of dialect to standard English. From 1917 to 1919 a large number of his poems were published, particularly in the left-wing journal Liberator In late 1919, he traveled to England where he stayed for a year. While there, he produced a small volume of poetry

Among the leaves of the trumpet-tree, close to his nest, The pea-dove sings, and each note thrills me with strange delight Like the words, wet with music, that well from your trembling throat. I'm afraid of your eyes, they're so bold, Searching me through, reading my thoughts, shining like gold. But sometimes they are gentle and soft like the dew on the lips of the eucharis Before the sun comes warm with his lover's kiss. You are sea-foam, pure with the star's loveliness, Not mortal, a flower, a fairy, too fair for the beauty-shorn earth. All wonderful things, all beautiful things, gave of their wealth to your birth. Oh I love you so much, not recking of passion, that I feel it is wrong! But men will love you, flower, fairy, non-mortal spirit burdened with flesh, Forever, life-long.

Before going to the U.S. in 1912, he wrote two volumes of Jamaican dialect verse, Songs of Jamaica and Constab Ballads The Liberator , then a leading journal of avant-garde politics and art.
