Writer and philosopher Jean Toomber was born Nathan Pinchback Toomber on 26th December 1894. His parents, Nathan Toomber and Nina Pinchback, were of African-American descent, however, the family could all pass for white. In 1895 Nathan Toomber abandoned his family and Nina and Nathan Jr were forced to move in with her father, who ordered that the boy's name was changed to Eugene (shortened to Jeab when he began writing). Nina's father, Pinckney Benton Stewart Pinchback, had formerly been governor of Louisiana. According to Toomer's biographers Cynthia Kerman and Richard Eldridge, "For Jean to grow up in a house with a grandfather who had been the only black governor of any state in the Union ... could not help shaping the perceptions and attitudes of the fatherless boy." After graduating from High School in Washington in 1914, Toomber studied at various colleges and universities, including the Univeristy of New York, for the next three years. Ultimately he left without a degree, but had formed a great interest in literature and philosophy, eventually becoming acquainted with many literary critics and luminaries, including Hart Crane, Sherwood Anderson, Malcolm Cowley, and Alfred Stieglitz.

A writer of sensitivity, Nathaniel Jean Toomer Home What Happened on Your Birthday? Search the Registry by Category ... Contact December 26 N. Jean Toomer Nathaniel Jean Toomer was born on this date in 1894. He was an African-American writer. Born in Washington, D.C., Toomer wanted a bonded argument that would resolve the conflicts of his bi-racial identity. Born Nathan Pinchback Toomer, his father deserted his mother when he was a year old and his mother died in 1909. He was raised in the home of his grandparents. As a writer, Greenwich Village progressive aesthetes nurtured Toomer in the 1910s and 1920s. His book, Cane was inspired by his two-month stint as a substitute principal at the Black Sparta Agricultural and Industrial Institute in Georgia in 1921. Entranced by Georgia's rural geography and its Black folk traditions, he saw in Southern life the harmony that escaped him, although he believed the culture to be disappearing through migration to the North and its encounter with modernity. Cane is a series of vignettes whose narrative structure moves from the South to the North and back to the South, forming a troubled synthesis of the two regions. Members of the Harlem Renaissance and the Black Arts Movement, as well as later African-American women writers have cited its influence and acclaimed the author's sensitive treatment of Black folk life, his formal elegance, and his progressive, uninhibited approach to sexuality and gender. Cane was Toomer's only work that explicitly treated the lives of African-Americans; after its publication he disappeared from literary circles. In 1924 the restless author made the first of several pilgrimages to Fontainebleau, France, to study at the Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man.

85. Jean Toomer (1894-1967) jean toomer (18941967). Contributing Editor Nellie Y. McKay. Classroom Issues and Strategies. toomer s style is difficult, especially http://www.georgetown.edu/faculty/bassr/heath/syllabuild/iguide/toomer.html

Jean Toomer (1894-1967) Contributing Editor: Nellie Y. McKay Classroom Issues and Strategies Toomer's style is difficult, especially in view of earlier African-American literature. To a large extent, Toomer abandoned the predominant naturalistic and realistic representation of the black experience to experiment with newer modernistic techniques. When they first approach these texts, students usually feel that it is well beyond their understandingthat Toomer is engaged in abstractions that are too difficult to comprehend. Have the students explore all the possibilities for a literal meaning of the metaphors and symbols. "Blood-Burning Moon" is less difficult for them because it has a traditional story line. In "Karintha," for instance, try to get them to see that Toomer is concerned with the sexual and economic oppression of women within their own communities where they should be safe from the former at least. These selections lend themselves to the visual imagination. Students may find it helpful to think of the "pictures" Toomer's images present as they read and try to understand, also, the written meanings these images present. Students respond positively to the poetic qualities of the writing, and they enjoy its visual aspects. They have difficulty interpreting the underlying themes and meanings, mainly because the language is seductive and leaves them ambivalent regarding the positive and negative qualities the writer intends to portray. It is best to lead them through one section by reading aloud in class and permitting them to use a number of methods (listening to the words, visualizing the images, etc.) to try to fathom what is going on.

Jean Toomer Activities This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. Born in Washington, D.C., Nathan Eugene Toomer was raised by his grandparents. He studied at several universities, including the University of Wisconsin, Massachusetts College of Agriculture, and New York University. After college, he held a variety of jobs, including ship fitter, car salesman, and physical education teacher. Enamored of the art scene in Greenwich Village, Toomer soon became part of the intellectual crowd, making friends with people like Waldo Frank, Sherwood Anderson, Hart Crane, Alfred Stieglitz, and the renowned benefactress Mabel Dodge. His short stories and poetry, which he published in The Dial Broom The Liberator Opportunity Crisis , and other magazines, received high praise from Allen Tate and Kenneth Burke; indeed, his work was well received in both the white and the black communities. His ability to straddle cultures became a mixed blessing for Toomer, as he struggled to secure a stable identity in a nation with a long habit of dividing itself along racial lines. Light-skinned enough to "pass," Toomer grappled with his complicated racial identity all his life. Toomer was not alone in this predicament; novelists James Weldon Johnson and Nella Larsen both explored the notion of passing in their fiction.

Face Nullo Jean Toomer Conversion A Portrait in Georgia Face Hair silver-gray, like streams of stars, Brows recurved canoes quivered by the ripples blown by pain, Her eyes mist of tears condensing on the flesh below And her channeled muscles are cluster grapes of sorrow purple in the evening sun nearly ripe for worms. Nullo A spray of pine-needles, Dipped in western horizon gold, Fell onto a path. Dry moulds of cow-hoofs. In the forest. Rabbits knew not of their falling, Nor did the forest catch aflame. Conversion African Guardian of Souls, Drunk with rum, Feasting on strange cassava, Yielding to new words and a weak palabra Of a white-faced sardonic god Grins, cries Amen, Shouts hosanna. A Portrait in Georgia Hairbraided chestnut, coiled like a lyncher's rope, Eyesfagots, Lipsold scars, or the first red blisters, Breaththe last sweet scent of cane, And her slim body, white as the ash of black flesh after flame.
