Although frequently mentioned synonymously with the Harlem Renaissance, Brown actually rose to prominence outside of New York. In 1922 at the age of 18, Brown won a scholarship to Williams College and then went on to Harvard University. From 1936 to 1940, Brown served as editor of the Negro Affairs for the Work Projects Administrator's Federal Writers Project, which was one of the few important positions bestowed on an African American during the Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. The desired effect of the New Deal was to get people back to work during the Depression. Brown's main works in the 1930s were studies of African-American literature and drama. His first book of poems, Southern Road, was most controversial because it made use of the black vernacular structures, which had been used, up to that time mostly in music.

LC INFORMATION BULLETIN December 1998 Library of Congress Home Page 'The Story of Being Human' Symposium Honors Poet Sterling Brown The spirit of poet Sterling A. Brown lived on in his poetry, his jokes and his relationships with his students during a two-day symposium at the Library. "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. Sterling Brown's son, John Dennis (left), with Michael Harper. Photo by Richard Jenkins 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

COACH BENDER ON STERLING BROWN “Had there been more opportunities to get him on the court last year, he would have taken advantage of them. Now he is poised to do just that. Sterling has an uncanny ability to find a way to score. He is one of those natural scorers who you just put on the floor and he can find a way to score. Certainly we have had our problems offensively, so anybody that can bring that to our team is going to be invaluable. What we’ve worked with Sterling in the off-season to develop is to have the mentality to be a defensive player who can guard a lot of different people because of his size. We would like to see him be able to guard anyone from a big guard to maybe even a point. If he develops that then all of a sudden his scoring becomes a huge bonus. You’ve got a guy who can put the ball in the basket and at the same time is somewhat of a stopper.”

Search Table of Contents “[Examines] the career of this protean individual for the light he can bring to our comprehension of race, modernity, and language.” Aldon L. Nielson, author of Writing Between the Lines and Black Chant “Makes a genuine contribution to the study of African American literature and culture by showing how crucial it is to deconstruct the terms we use in the study of literary works and writers.” Jerry W. Ward Jr., editor of Trouble the Water: 250 Years of African American Poetry Afro-Modernist Aesthetics and the Poetry of Sterling A. Brown Mark A. Sanders Sterling A. Brown’s poetry and aesthetics are central to a proper understanding of African American art and politics of the early twentieth century. This study redefines the relationship between modernism and the New Negro era in light of Brown’s uniquely hybrid poetry and vision of a heterodox, pluralist modernism. Brown, also a folklorist and critic, saw the Harlem Renaissance and modernism as interactive rather than mutually exclusive and perceived the New Negro era as the dawning of African American modernity. Reading Brown’s three collections of poetry in light of their respective historical contexts, Sanders examines the ways in which Brown reconfigured black being and created alternative conceptual space for African Americans amid the prevailing racial discourses of American culture. Brown’s poetics call for revised conceptions of the Harlem Renaissance, black identity, artistic expression, and modernity that recognize the range, depth, and complexity of African American life.

SKI THE BEACH by Sterling Brown Standing by the office building, Lou Collins looked up the street through the snow. It blew from the northeast, a static blur of white, and he lowered his cap and began to jog. In the dark windows beside him he searched for himself, but saw only the flakes merging with the grey of his beard. Snow-sheathed, silent, Atlantic Avenue lay deserted. He ran across the intersection, slipped and nearly fell, and leaned against a wall breathing deeply. Then he dropped his skis, stepped into them and snapped the bindings. He fitted his hands through the pole straps and pushed off, feeling awkward the first few strides and then confident, pushing with the poles as he skated with the skis, lifting one ski as he kicked back with the other, balancing as he slid on the snow on the sidewalk. At the end of the street, as he passed the casino, two doormen stood silently cursing. They stamped their feet, smacking fists into palms, their mouths leaking steam like radiators. They didn't appear to see him. Collins felt invisible. It was a push up the ramp along planters of plastic holly and on the boardwalk, away from the buildings, the wind now hit him and the snow raced past. He stopped and leaned on his poles. Usually, even on the coldest days, gamblers edged along the storefronts. But today he saw no one. He closed and rubbed his eyes. When he opened them the boardwalk spread before him like a long frosted cake, and it was grey winter all around. He spat, and it lifted in the wind and vanished.
