*Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks was born on this date in 1917. An American poet, she is the first African-American to receive a Pulitzer Prize.
Born in Topeka, Kansas, Brooks graduated from Wilson Junior College in 1936. Critics praised her first book of poems, A Street in Bronzeville, (1945) as a moving evocation of life in an urban Black neighborhood. In 1949, Brooks wrote Annie Allen, and was awarded the 1950 Pulitzer Prize in poetry. Since then, she has written a number of selections for readers of all ages. These include Maude Martha (1953), The Bean Eaters (1960), In the Mecca (1968), Riot (1969), Jump Bad (edited): A NewChicago Anthology (1971), Report from Part One: An Autobiography (1972), To Disembark (1981), The Near-Johannesburg Boy and Other Poems (1986), Blacks (1987), and Children Coming Home (1991).
Brooks is noted for her adaptation of traditional forms of poetry and for her use of short verse lines and casual rhymes. Brooks was named poet laureate for the state of Illinois in 1968, succeeding Carl Sandburg. In 1985 she was appointed poetry consultant to the Library of Congress. In 1990 Brooks became the first American to receive the Society for Literature Award from the University of Thessalonica in Athens, Greece.
She received the National Book Foundation's medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters in 1994. Gwen Brooks died December 4, 2000.

Gwendolyn Brooks - Bio
Illinois Poet Laureate 1968-2000 In manifest ways, Gwendolyn Brooks became a central figure of twentieth-century American poetry. From her earliest ballads about daily life among the downtrodden, misunderstood, and invisible to her later oracular visions of revolutionary proportions, Brooks led the way in establishing our multiracial, multiethnic American artistic heritage. After five decades of poetic achievement, Brooks earned an honored place in that realm of American poetic originals that includes the likes of Frost, Eliot, Pound, Moore, Hughes, Williams. Poetry magazine and who also taught a poetry class at the Southside Community Art Center. In addition, Brooks met James Weldon Johnson and Langston Hughes, who urged her to read modern poetry and emphasized the need to write with disciplined regularity. By 1934 Brooks had become an adjunct member of the staff of the Chicago Defender and had published almost one hundred of her poems in a weekly poetry column.

Poetry Magazine GWENDOLYN BROOKS USA by Andrena Zawinski Features Editor, PoetryMagazine.com Gwendolyn Brooks was born in 1917 in Topeka, Kansas and died at 83 in Chicago, Illinois of a recently diagnosed cancer. She died in her home surrounded by people she loved, according to the "Chicago Tribune." "Tribune" reporters Donato and Janega noted Brooks as: a prolific writer of hundreds of individual poems,
essays and reviews, as well as more than 20 books,
one unpublished. Her poetry gave elegant voice to
the plight of everyday African-Americans, telling
their ordinary tales through formal verses such as
the sonnet and balladunexpected venues for black
poets when she began her writing career," quoting
B.J. Bolden, associate professor of English and
director of the Gwendolyn Brooks Center at Chicago
State University. The death notice went on to say that "for hours Sunday, a handful of family members and friends had been gathering at Brooks' bedside to read to her although she no longer communicated with those present; and just before the poet took her last breath, her daughter, Nora Brooks Blakely, placed a pen in her hand."

    Brooks, Gwendolyn Elizabeth
    Brooks, Gwendolyn Elizabeth, , American poet, b. Topeka, Kans. She grew up in the slums of Chicago and lived in that city until her death. Brooks's poems, technically accomplished and written in a variety of forms including quatrains, free verse, ballads, and sonnets, deal with the experience of being black and often of being female in America. She attracted critical attention with her first volume, A Street in Bronzeville (1945). Brooks went on to win the 1950 Pulitzer Prize for poetry for

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." Alexander and Lansana discuss the breakthroughs Brooks made in her early poetry. (Requires QuickTime.

Gwendolyn Brooks
(b. 1917)
Contributing Editor: D. H. Melhem
Classroom Issues and Strategies
Brooks's work is generally accessible. Occasionally, however, and more likely in some earlier works, like Annie Allen and individual poems like "Riders to the Blood-red Wrath," intense linguistic and semantic compression present minor difficulties. My Gwendolyn Brooks: Poetry and the Heroic Voice can be used as a guide to her published works. As holds true for most poetry, Brooks's should be read aloud. In the process, its power (boosted by alliteration), the musicality, and the narrative are vivified. Although I have not had the opportunity to teach Brooks extensively, students seem taken with identity poems like "The Life of Lincoln West" and the didactic "Ballad of Pearl May Lee," which was Hughes's favorite. The narrative aspect seems to be especially appealing. As these are not in this anthology, you may wish to recommend them as extra reading.
