Brooks, Gwendolyn American poet, the first African American to receive a Pulitzer Prize. Born in Topeka, Kansas, Brooks graduated from Wilson Junior College in 1936. Her first book of poems, A Street in Bronzeville (1945), was praised by critics as a clear and moving evocation of life in an urban black neighborhood. For Annie Allen (1949), Brooks was awarded the 1950 Pulitzer Prize in poetry. Her other works include the novel Maude Martha (1953); the children's book Bronzeville Boys and Girls (1956); and the volumes of poetry Selected Poems (1963), In the Mecca (1968), Riot (1969), Family Pictures (1970), Aloneness (1971), To Disembark (1981), The Near-Johannesburg Boy (1987), BLACKS (1987), Gottschalk and the Grande Tarantelle (1989), and Children Coming Home (1992). Her autobiographical work Report from Part One appeared in 1972. Brooks is noted for her adaptation of traditional forms of poetry and for her use of short verse lines and casual rhymes. Her work has always depicted black struggles, but after 1968 she became more active and outspoken in attacking racial discrimination. She also worked extensively to distribute black poetry. 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, and in 1988 she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. Her many awards include the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award (1946) and a National Endowment for the Arts Senior Fellowship for Literature (1989),a lifetime achievement award. In 1990 Brooks became the first American to receive the Society for Literature Award from the University of Thessaloniki in Athens, Greece. She received the National Book Foundation's medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters in 1994.

This Week's Current The Classroom Flyer Life Science Biology ... Sports 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."

Laura Tanenbaum January 2001 I think of that moment and of Brooks when I wonder about how debates about racial and sexual difference have shaped the way I think, write and teach. Reading her, I get a sense of the connection between the idea of the 'particular' as discussed in relation to multiculturalism and feminism and the more grounded, basic definition of the 'particular' that is the work of poetry: the loving, nuanced observation, obsessions with a detail that no one would notice if the poet weren't there to bring it to light. I think this is what Robin Morgan meant with her formulation "Hate generalizes; love specifies." Many accounts of Brooks' career emphasize her shift to the ideals of the Black Arts movement, and her own moving account of this transformation in the autobiographical Report from Part One underscores the importance of this transformation. Nevertheless, her devotion to recording the particulars of life in Chicago's black community - especially in pointed portraits individuals, from early works like "the ballad of chocolate Mabbie" and "Sadie and Maud" to the quasi-epic Annie Allen to the novella Maud Martha and the later collection Children Coming Home form a common thread on both sides of this divide. When she begins "Sermon on the Warplane" with an epigraph from Ron Karenga proclaiming "The fact that we are black is our ultimate reality," (
