Add to a Notebook Countee Cullen Born in 1903 in New York City, Countee Cullen was raised in a Methodist parsonage. He attended De Witt Clinton High School in New York and began writing poetry at the age of fourteen. In 1922, Cullen entered New York University. His poems were published in The Crisis , under the leadership of W. E. B. Du Bois, and Opportunity , a magazine of the National Urban League. He was soon after published in Harper's , the Century Magazine , and Poetry . He won several awards for his poem, "Ballad of the Brown Girl," and graduated from New York University in 1923. That same year, Harper published his first volume of verse, Color , and he was admitted to Harvard University where he completed a master's degree. His second volume of poetry, Copper Sun (1927), met with controversy in the black community because Cullen did not give the subject of race the same attention he had given it in Color . He was raised and educated in a primarily white community, and he differed from other poets of the Harlem Renaissance like

Countee Cullen (1903-1946) Yet do I marvel at this curious thing: To make a poet black and bid him sing! from "Yet Do I Marvel" (1924) The above lines are perhaps the most famous ever written by the Harlem Renaissance poet Countee Cullen. They are often quoted because these few lines express so much about Cullen’s attitude to poetry, his philosophy on race and writing and his poetic talent. Classically trained in literaturehe received his master’s degree from Harvard after graduating Phi Beta Kappa in 1925 from New York UniversityCullen believed that to be a great poet meant mastery of the accepted and, therefore standard, poetic forms, tropes and meters Americans inherited from European traditions. As a result, most of his poems are like "Yet Do I Marvel," a sonnet with a strict meter chock full of classical allusions to Greek mythology. Unlike Langston Hughes, Cullen did not believe that black cultural expressive forms such as the blues and jazz should be parlayed into the art of poetics. As a matter of fact, Cullen didn’t believe that poetry should automatically reflect the race of the poet. He felt that all a poet needed was the meter, the classical form and the conventional symbols and allusions in order to be understood and to say something that mattered to his world. Yet, Cullen was continually pulled by his desire to express race as a theme in his poetry. "Yet Do I Marvel" is a testament to this pull. The lines above testify to the fact that Cullen found his position as a black poet a "curious thing." They also show that Cullen felt he had to keep writing (singing) despite the implied paradox of being black and being a poet. It is the nature of the artist to create no matter what, and it is natural for the artist to take from his/her own life those subjects which most shape it. Being black and facing racism were things Cullen could not avoid as the following lines show :

May 30, 1903, Louisville, Ky.?, U.S.d. Jan. 9, 1946, New York, N.Y.), American poet, one of the finest of the Harlem Renaissance q.v. Reared by a woman who was probably his paternal grandmother, Countee at age 15 was unofficially adopted by the Reverend F.A. Cullen, minister of Salem M.E. Church, one of Harlem's largest congregations. He won a citywide poetry contest as a schoolboy and saw his winning stanzas widely reprinted. At New York University (B.A., 1925) he won the Witter Bynner Poetry Prize and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Major American literary magazines accepted his poems regularly, and his first collection of poems, Color (1925), was published to critical acclaim before he had finished college. Cullen received an M.A. degree from Harvard University in 1926 and worked as an assistant editor for Opportunity magazine. In 1928, just before leaving the United States for France (where he would study on a Guggenheim Fellowship), Cullen married Yolande Du Bois, daughter of
