Extractions: Poet "Very early in life I became fascinated with the wonders language can achieve. And I began playing with words." Born June 7, 1917, in Topeka, Kansas, poet Gwendolyn Brooks is the first African American writer to win a Pulitzer Prize. She is best known for her sensitive portraits of urban blacks who encounter racism and poverty in their daily lives. Although she was born in Topeka, Kansas, in 1917, Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks grew up in Chicago, Illinois, and has always considered it her hometown. Her mother, Keziah Wims Brooks, was a schoolteacher, while her father, David Anderson Brooks, was a janitor who had been forced to abandon his dream of becoming a doctor because he didn't have enough money to finish school. The family also included a son, Raymond, who was sixteen months younger than his sister. The Brooks household was a happy one, and Gwendolyn thrived on a steady diet of love and encouragement from her parents, who read stories and sang songs to their two children. The outside world, however, was somewhat less supportive. According to Kent, as a youngster Gwendolyn "was spurned by members of her own race because she lacked social or athletic abilities, a light skin, and good grade hair." Hurt by such rejection, the little girl took comfort in the solitary pursuits of reading and writing. She composed her first poem at the age of seven and by the age of eleven was regularly entering her thoughts in a notebook. "I felt that I had to write," she later explained in an Ebony article. "Even if I had never been published, I knew that I would go on writing, enjoying it and experiencing the challenge." When her parents discovered her aptitude for writing, they excused her from many household chores and set up a desk at which she could work.

And for the weekend, Frank Wright and Marcia Davenport also from World Authors 1900-50 BROOKS, GWENDOLYN (June 7, 1917 ), American poet and novelist, wrote: "I was taken from Chicago to Topeka, Kansas, my mother's home, to be born. A month after my birth my mother and I returned to Chicago, where we have lived ever since. (She is Keziah Wims Brooks, my father is David Anderson Brooks. I have one brother, Raymond.) "I loved poetry very early and began to put rhymes together at about seven, at which time my parents expressed most earnest confidence that I would one day be a writer. At the age of thirteen my first poem, Eventide,' was accepted and printed by a then well-known children's magazine, American Childhood . I received in payment six copies of the issue in which it appeared, and a kind, encouraging note from the editor.

Extractions: Gwendolyn Brooks The Contemporary Forum (1917- ), poet and author Born on June 7, 1917, in Topeka, Kansas, Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks graduated from Wilson Junior College in 1936. Her early verses appeared in the Chicago Defender a newspaper written primarily for the black community of Chicago. Her first published collection, A Street in Bronzeville (1945), reveals her talent for making the ordinary life of her neighbors extraordinary. Annie Allen (1949), for which Brooks became the first black poet to win the Pulitzer Prize, is a loosely connected series of poems related to a black girl's growing up in Chicago. Most of Brooks's works deal with the everyday life of urban blacks; this was true also of her novel Maud Martha Some of Brooks's best verse is found in The Bean Eaters (1960). Her Selected Poems (1963) was followed by In the Mecca (1968). The latter volume comprises the long title poem, about people in the Mecca, a once-great, fortresslike apartment building on Chicago's South Side, as well as several individual poems. Brooks also wrote a book for children, Bronzeville Boys and Girls (1956). The autobiographical

Gwendolyn Brooks' voice in contemporary black poetry ranges from quiet sensitivity to fierce and angry protest, speaking from the perspective of a black woman in America. Whether quiet or outspoken, Brooks' poetry brings home to the reader a tangibly real chunk of her perception, which is the true justification for her stature as a poet, more than the Pulitzer Prize awarded for her Annie Allen in 1950, her position as Poet Laureate of Illinois, or the other honors which she has received.
