Z Search All Criticism: Printable Version Download PDF Cite this Page Countee Cullen 1903–1946 (Born Countee Leroy Porter) American poet, novelist, critic, journalist, and dramatist. INTRODUCTION Cullen was one of the foremost figures of the Harlem Renaissance, a cultural movement of unprecedented creative achievement among black American writers, musicians, and artists centered in the Harlem section of New York City during the 1920s. While Cullen strove to establish himself as the author of romantic poetry on such universal topics as love and death, he also wrote numerous poems treating contemporary racial issues, and it is for these that he is best remembered. Biographical Information The Ballad of the Brown Girl , a retelling of an English folk ballad. Color , Cullen's first volume of poetry, was published in 1925, the same year he graduated from New York University. Cullen matriculated to Harvard University and received his M.A. in 1926. Returning to New York where he was already considered a leading literary figure, Cullen began writing "From the Dark Tower," a column on literary and social issues for Opportunity , the journal of the National Urban League. He published several volumes of poetry, including

South Carolina Education Directory Click Here to See More Countee Cullen: How Teaching Rewrites the Writer Hans Ostrom University of Puget Sound Hans Ostrom is a Professor of English. His poetry and fiction have appeared in a variety of magazines, and he has published a novel, Three to Get Ready . In 1994 he was a Fulbright Senior Fellow at Uppsala University, Sweden. Among his scholarly books is Langston Hughes: A Study of the Short Fiction. I. More than most literary movements, the Harlem Renaissance continues to resonate and symbolize in our literary and political consciousness. This is so because the movement was at once contrived and spontaneous, potent and blighted, timeless and short-lived_and especially because it either confronted or foreshadowed most of the key conflicts among race, writing, politics, canon-building, gender, and class that were to define American literature and African-American literature during the rest of the century (Lewis; Rampersad). That this movement remains alive and significant is certainly good news. One piece of bad news is that the further we writers, teachers, and critics travel from such a crucial point in literary history, the more likely we are to accept hardened, simplified definitions of the writers who were and the writing that is "the Harlem Renaissance." Thus, almost reflexively, we are likely to think of Countee Cullen as the conservative poet among that number when the saints came marching in. (Later I'll take pains to define "conservative" poet, as well as to suggest the limitations of the term). and we are likely to contrast him, not favorably, with Langston Hughes, whose work seems more various and flexible; more politically charged; less constricted by the tenets of a bourgeois American perspective or a staid Anglo-European literary tradition.

Countee Cullen Home Page RSS Feed More RSS Feeds Countee Cullen Poetry Profile By Thomas Hanson on January 31, 2007 09:04 PM Permalink Comments (0) RSS Born Countee Porter, in 1903 in New York City, Countee Cullen was the adopted son of Reverend Frederick Cullen, the prominent minister and pastor of the Salem Methodist Episcopal Church in Harlem. The precocious Countee began writing poetry while in elementary school and his first published poem, "I Have a Rendezvous With Life," was featured in his high school's literary magazine. Cullen was an outstanding student at the esteemed Dewitt Clinton High School. Countee was elected to class office and to ARISTA, the scholastic honor society. At graduation, Cullen received recognition in Latin, mathematics, English, history and French. At the age of nineteen, Countee began his college studies at New York University. There, he published poems in both "The Crisis" and "Opportunity." Shortly thereafter, Cullen won several awards for his poem, "Ballad of the Brown Girl." The talented poet graduated from NYU in 1923 and entered Harvard University that fall. That very same year he published his first book of verse, called "Color." By the time his second volume of poetry, Copper Sun (1927), was released, Cullen was meeting with some controversy in the black community. Unlike Langston Hughes, Cullen was educated in a white community and lacked the black experiences to match those of Hughes. His style was more in line with Keats and Shelley and he seldom wrote about the issues close to his black peers.

Countee Cullen, poet and publisher Home Donate to the Registry Benefactors What Happened on Your Birthday? ... Contact May 30 Countee Cullen *Countee Cullen was born on this date in 1903. He was an African- American poet and prominent member of the Harlem Renaissance society. From New York City Cullen was essentially a lyric poet whose work was influenced by that of the English poet John Keats. Much of Cullen's best work dealt with themes pertinent to the lives of Black Americans, but without emphasizing dialect or stereotypes; he perceived art as universal. His several volumes of poetry include Color; Copper Sun; The Black Christ and On These I Stand, his selection of poems by which he wished to be remembered. Cullen also wrote a novel dealing with life in Harlem, One Way to Heaven (his only novel) 1932 and a children's book, The Lost Zoo, 1940. On these I stand 1947, The Media and Some Poems 1935, a collection of sonnets and short lyrics together with a translation of Euripide's tragedy, My Lives and How I Lost Them 1942, and plays St. Louis Woman 1946, publ. 1971, which ran briefly on Broadway, and The Third Fourth of July publ. 1946. Countee Cullen died on January 9th 1946.
