http://www.poetrytodayonline.com/NOVcp.html

Extractions: U.S. poet, born in New York, N.Y.; wrote of comedy and tragedy in life of black Americans with lyric, wistful beauty. The poet Countee Cullen was one of the major contributors to the 1920s literary movement known as the Harlem Renaissance. Through his verse, Cullen gave expression to the character of African-American life as he experienced it. The Harlem Renaissance, a period of great achievement in African-American art and literature, was pushed to a new high with the 1925 publication of Cullen's volume of poems entitled Color . His sensuous lyric verse expressed themes in the life of his race and shed light on social reality. Cullen's other verse collections include: Copper Sun The Ballad of the Brown Girl (1927) and The Black Christ (1929). His novel, One Way to Heaven , appeared in 1932. Cullen was awarded the Witter Bynner Undergraduate Poetry Prize from New York University. According to his friend and literary collaborator Arna Bontemps, Cullen was much preoccupied with the question of whether he would be remembered as a poet or as a "Negro poet." "Almost his only public comments about the art in which he expressed himself were pleas for an evaluation of his work strictly on its merits, without racial considerations. He was to learn, however, that this was no easy matter." The Saturday Review, March 23, 1947 p. 44. In the monument pictured below, the artist has rendered the question rather than the answer, exploring an issue we still face today, 50 years after the poet's death. A bronze-colored Countee Cullen is portrayed reaching out to a bust of himself in the traditional representation of a poet: a white marble-colored bust crowned with a laurel wreath. His other hand holds his book "Color."

Extractions: A B C D ... Scholars Index Call and Response: The Riverside Anthology of the African American Literary Tradition by Patricia Liggins Hill (Editor), Bernard W. Bell (Editor), Trudier Harris, Patricia Liggins Hill (Editor) More than a decade in the making, Call and Response is a ground-breaking anthology of African American literature, unique in its placing equal emphasis on the written and the oral dimensions of the black aesthetic. It traces the centuries-long emergence of this distinct literary tradition from its earliest roots in African proverbs, folktales, and chants to its latest flowering in the works of such writers as Rita Dove, August Wilson, and Terry McMillan. Here, in 2,000 pages and 550 selections, is (in the words of Richard Wright) the "long black song" of African American life, sung in a great choir of voices, from the slaves of the 1600s to the rap artists, orators, novelists, and poets of today.

Extractions: Countee Cullen was born Countee Porter on May 30, 1903, in New York. He was the adopted son of Reverend and Mrs. Frederick Ashbury Cullen. Reverend Cullen was an influential minister who pastored Salem Methodist Episcopal Church, one of the largest churches in Harlem at that time. "I Have a Rendezvous With Life," Cullen's first published poem, appeared in the DeWitt Clinton High School literary magazine, The Magpie , in 1921. He had been writing poetry since he was in elementary school. DeWitt Clinton was considered to be one of the finest public schools in New York at the time and very few African-American students were enrolled there. Young Countee did very well in school and was elected to class office as well as serving in an editorial capacity on several of his school publications. He was elected to ARISTA, the scholastic honor society, and upon graduation, received distinctions in Latin, mathematics, English, history and French. In 1925, Cullen graduated from New York University with honors. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa and was nationally known as a poet by then. His first book of poems

http://www.litelit.com/cullen.html

Extractions: Countee Cullen was born in 1903 in New York City. He began writing poetry during his high school years and his poems were published after he entered New York University. Soon after, he was published in Harper's the Century Magazine, and Poetry. His poem, Ballad of the Brown Girl , won an undergraduate poetry prize and many other awards in 1923. Harper published his first volume of poetry, Color , in the same year. The black community did not as easily accept Copper Sun , published in 1927, because Cullen did not deal with race in the same way he had in Color . This could be explained by the fact that he was raised and educated in a primarily white community. Because of his limited interpersonal contact with other blacks, he lacked the insight to comment on the personal experiences of the majority of the black race. His perspective on the black race, which differed from other poets of the Harlem Renaissance, only served to make his writings contrast with Renaissance writers such as Langston Hughes. Cullen wrote in the tradition of Keats and Shelley, and resisted the Modernists' new poetic techniques. He died in 1946.
