Brooks Co-op opened Check out our member handbook for lots of details about how the house runs. Food Brooks Co-op believes that vegetarians and non-vegetarians can live together in harmony. Our five weekly house meals are vegetarian-friendly in that meat may appear, but there has to be enough to eat for vegetarians. Members Our members are graduate students, undergraduates, and community members from diverse cultural backgrounds. Our membership policy is described in our member handbook . Many of our members become friends and do things together outside the house. Bedrooms We have 14 bedrooms, which are usually used as singles. Double occupancy is permitted in our larger rooms. Room rates for 2005-2006 vary from $240 to $360 per month, depending on room size and niceness. Utilities are extra ($40-$80) and so is food ($100). Location Brooks is conveniently located about half-way between the University of Illinois campus and downtown Urbana (about a 10-minute walk to each). The Green bus line goes right by our house. The street has a mixture of housing for students and permanent residents. Labor Keeping the house in good working order is an important part of life at Brooks. Each member cooks, cleans after meals and does weekly chores like cleaning bathrooms, washing the dining room floor and taking out the garbage. Some members also take on co-ordinator positions. These people are responsible for house finances, maintenance, food shopping, membership, labour, and other loose-ends. Once a semester, we all spend a day making improvements to our house.

Gwendolyn Brooks, New York Times obituary December 4, 2000 Gwendolyn Brooks, Whose Poetry Told of Being Black in America, Dies at 83 By MEL WATKINS Gwendolyn Brooks, who illuminated the black experience in America in poems that spanned most of the 20th century, winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1950, died yesterday at her home in Chicago. She was 83. "I wrote about what I saw and heard in the street," Ms. Brooks once said. "I lived in a small second-floor apartment at the corner, and I could look first on one side and then the other. There was my material." In Ms. Brooks's early poetry, Chicago's vast black South Side is called Bronzeville. It was "A Street in Bronzeville," her first poetry anthology, that attracted the attention of the literary establishment in 1945. prejudice." But it was more than Ms. Brooks's ability to write about struggling black people, particularly black women. There was also her mastery of the language of poetry.

Home Search Browse About IPO ... Links Maria K. Mootry, Historical Research and Narrative C Gwendolyn Brooks by John J. Crisp, Jr. Gwendolyn Brooks's Maud Martha We know Gwendolyn Brooks, of course, primarily as Illinois' Poet Laureate. Her brilliant novel, Maud Martha (originally published in 1953; reprinted in 1993), however, is a small jewel, filled with finely polished episodes telling the story of a young black girl growing up in the late 1920s through the 1940s in Chicago. A marvelous black bildungsroman (story of a young person who grows into maturity), this novel features its heroine, Maud Martha Brown, as a plain, black girl acutely aware of how others feel about her. This is neither the romantic racialism of the Harlem Renaissance nor the "Black is Beautiful" mode of the 1960s Black Arts Movement, but rather a novel of psychological realism that veers toward gentle satire and understated humor that demythologizes, or exposes, many comforting myths about race, class, and gender. "I like to vivify the commonplace," Gwendolyn Brooks once explained to an interviewer. Much of the action in

55. American Poets Project - The Essential Gwendolyn Brooks If you wanted a poem, wrote gwendolyn brooks, you only had to look out of a window. There was material always, walking or running, fighting or screaming http://www.americanpoetsproject.org/volume/1931082871

The Essential Gwendolyn Brooks edited by elizabeth alexander "If you wanted a poem," wrote Gwendolyn Brooks, "you only had to look out of a window. There was material always, walking or running, fighting or screaming or singing." From the life of Chicago's South Side she made a forceful and passionate poetry that fused Modernist aesthetics with African-American cultural tradition, a poetry that registered the life of the streets and the upheavals of the 20th century. Starting with A Street in Bronzeville (1945), her epoch-making debut volume, The Essential Gwendolyn Brooks traces the full arc of her career in all its ambitious scope and unexpected stylistic shifts. "Her formal range," writes editor Elizabeth Alexander, "is most impressive, as she experiments with sonnets, ballads, spirituals, blues, full and off-rhymes. She is nothing short of a technical virtuoso." That technical virtuosity was matched by a restless curiosity about the life around her in all its explosive variety. By turns compassionate, angry, satiric, and psychologically penetrating, Gwendolyn Brooks's poetry retains its power to move and surprise. ISBN: Price: Series number: 200 pp.

Gwendolyn Brooks Pulitzer Prize winner for poetry Birthplace: Topeka, KS Education: Wilson Junior College Gwendolyn Brooks was born in 1917, the granddaughter of a runaway slave, and grew up in the slums of Chicago. She became fascinated at an early age by words and the sounds they make, and at the age of seven, she decided to become a poet. When she was 13, her first poem was published in a national magazine. In high school she met Langston Hughes, who encouraged her literary ambitions. At 17, Brooks' poems began being published regularly in the Chicago Defender , an African-American Newspaper. At the age of 24, Brooks enrolled in a poetry workshop. There she read many modern poets and developed the precise style for which she would become famous. In 1943, she began to receive awards and recognition on a national level. In 1946, she became a Guggenheim fellow and was able to write full time. Brooks' first collection of poetry, A Street in Bronzeville , was published in 1945. Her second collection

You remember the children you got that you did not get, The damp small pulps with a little or with no hair, The singers and workers that never handled the air. You will never neglect or beat Them, or silence or buy with a sweet. You will never wind up the sucking-thumb Or scuttle off ghosts that come. You will never leave them, controlling your luscious sigh, Return for a snack of them, with gobbling mother-eye. I have heard in the voices of the wind the voices of my dim killed children. I have contracted. I have eased My dim dears at the breasts they could never suck. I have said, Sweets, if I sinned, if I seized Your luck And your lives from your unfinished reach, If I stole your births and your names, Your straight baby tears and your games, Your stilted or lovely loves, your tumults, your mar- riages, aches, and your deaths, If I poisoned the beginnings of your breaths, Believe that even in my deliberateness I was not de- liberate.
