The photo is from The Ann Arbor Poetry Forum photo by Roy Lewis Sterling Allen Brown Sterling Brown is one of the unsung heroes of African-American poetry. Born in 1901, died in 1989, Brown spent most of his life as an English professor at Howard University, where he taught a wide range of courses from Shakespeare to World Literature. While generations of students—Amiri Baraka and Gwendolyn Brooks being two of the most famous—have paid tribute to his influential teaching, his poetry was largely neglected during his lifetime. Brown grew up squarely in the black middle class of Washington, DC, but his interest in the lives of common folk took him from the lecture hall to the barrel house and the barbershop. While influenced by such American poetic masters as Robert Frost and Edgar Lee Masters, Brown’s poems managed to synthesize traditional poetic forms with the dialect of working-class African-Americans. The quote from Mark Patrick at At The Ann Arbor Poetry Forum 1996-1997 The verses resonate with the music of the life he saw around himthe blues sung to lost loves, chants of saints praying to be in the number, tragic-comic cries in the face of hatred and injustice, and jubilant songs of endurance and perseverance. Sterling Brown's poetic genius lies in his subtle adaptation of blues, spirituals, work songs, and ballads into silver threads that dazzle his spoken verse. The quote is from Smithsonian Folkways "In the beginning I never found poems in the American literary pantheon about the things I knew best. I decided that I would at least do my part and try to put some of those poems in there. At the time I was reading black American literature, mostly in anthologies. I didn't know about Sterling Brown. If I had, I would have taken a different approach...

Sterling A. Brown (1901-1989) Contributing Editor: John Edgar Tidwell Classroom Issues and Strategies Two problems come immediately to mind when I consider my past experiences in teaching Brown's poetry. First the relative obscurity of Brown's place in the American literary tradition is the biggest obstacle in teaching Brown because students think his presence in the syllabus requires some big justification. The second problem, ironically, is much more complicated. Because Brown is a black poet, students are quite willing to interpret his poetry in light of his "blackness," by which they generally mean hard luck, pain, and suffering imposed by "Jim Crow" laws. They are less willing to acknowledge Brown as a poet, one conscientiously crafting and representing experience in poetic form. Brown's fundamental assertion of a humanistic vision is rooted in the democratic principles of the U.S. Constitution. The way in which this assertion is set forth as compelling poetry sometimes escapes the vision of students, who often want to see him engaged in special pleading. They're often reluctant to see him in a tradition established by Robert Frost E. A. Robinson

Picture Brief Bio Sterling Brown was born in Washington, D.C., in 1901. He was educated at Dunbar High School and received a bachelor's degree from Williams College. He studied the work of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot, but was more interested in the works of Amy Lowell, Edgar Lee Masters, Robert Frost and Carl Sandburg. In 1923, he earned a master's degree from Harvard University and was employed as a teacher at the Virginia Seminary and College in Lynchburg until 1926. Three years later, Brown began teaching at Howard University and in 1932 his first book, Southern Road, was published. His poetry was influenced by jazz, the blues, work songs and spirituals and, like Langston Hughes, Jean Toomer, Countee Cullen, and other black poets of the period, his writing expresses his concerns about race in America. Southern Road was well received by critics and Brown became part of the artistic tradition of the Harlem Renaissance, but with the arrival of the Depression, Brown could not find a publisher for his second book of verse. He turned to writing essays and focused on his career as a teacher at Howard, where he taught until his retirement in 1969. He finally published his second book of poetry, The Last Ride of Wild Bill, in 1975. Brown is known for his frank, unsentimental portraits of black people and their experiences, and the incorporation of African-American folklore and contemporary idiom into his verse. He died in 1989 in Takoma Park, Maryland.

18. Sterling Brown Sometime during my freshman year (1968) at Howard University I walked into an auditorium on campus and heard sterling brown read. http://washingtonart.com/beltway/brown.html

E. Ethelbert Miller on STERLING BROWN (May 1, 1901 - January 13, 1989) When I think of poets I often think about their voices. I like how poets sing words into the air. It's the ear which redirects the eye back to the page. I don't feel Brown's poetry had a direct influence on my own writing. Although I loved the narrative style in several of his poems, I think it was Ahmos Zu-Bolton and Lee Howard who really opened the windows for me. But I came to Brown's poetry through its humor and accessibility. Brown and Langston Hughes were my cornerstones as the Black Arts Movement introduced me to Amiri Baraka, Don L. Lee (Haki Madhubuti), Carolyn Rogers, Nikki Giovanni, Sonia Sanchez and Norman Jordan. Despite the celebratory emphasis on blackness that coincided with my youth, Sterling Brown insisted on being called a Negro. It was a matter of pride. The word Negro is linked forever to the struggle for freedom and equality in this country. Brown was of a generation of "Race Men" who transformed our American society. There would have been no Civil Rights Movement without men like Brown. When novelist and essayist James Baldwin undertook a trip down South to study the battle against segregation in the early Sixties, he first stopped in Washington, D.C. and met with the senior poet. Brown instructed Baldwin on how to walk the Southern road. Some people called Sterling Brown the dean of Negro literature. To me he was "Mr. B" and "Old Lem." At the Fourth National Conference of Afro-American Writers in May 1978, a tape was played in which Brown could be heard talking about how a mere tad of a lad (me) had helped him more than anyone in his career. I don't think that's true. Sterling Brown was widely loved, especially by former students. I was never a student of Brown's, so I missed those classroom moments at Howard and his home. However my appreciation of the man deepens every year. Sterling Brown was my literary elder. I know see myself becoming one.

Brown lived on in his poetry, his jokes and his relationships with his students during a two-day symposium at the Library. Sterling Brown's son, John Dennis (left), with Michael Harper. - Richard Jenkins "Sterling A. Brown: American Poet and Cultural Worker" was held Oct. 23 and 24 by the Library's Poetry and Literature Center in conjunction with the University of Virginia literary journal Callaloo , whose editors published a special issue focusing on Brown. The National Endowment for the Humanities was also a cosponsor. Brown (1901-89) was a poet who wrote in black vernacular at a time when Harlem Renaissance writers looked down on such things as an embarrassing vestige of the rural South. But Brown thundered back: "Are we to acquiesce to the woman who wants 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot' to be changed to 'Descend, Welcome Vehicle?' There are no hiding places," recalled Brown's biographer, John Edgar Tidwell, who is an associate professor of English at Miami University of Ohio. "His efforts to preserve and restore the vernacular of the black South anticipated African American literary studies," said Charles Rowell, editor of Callaloo. Brown laid the groundwork for those staples of African American literary studies
