She became fascinated at an early age by words and the sounds they make, and at the age of seven, she decided to become a poet. When she was 13, her first poem was published in a national magazine. In high school she met Langston Hughes, who encouraged her literary ambitions. At 17, Brooks' poems began being published regularly in the Chicago Defender , an African-American Newspaper.

Extractions: A mini unit on Gwendolyn Brooks: Poet, Novelist, Wife, Mother, and Teacher Famous Person: Gwendolyn Elizabeth Brooks (1917- ) Related Topics: Self Esteem Poetry (Specifically integrated in Health Education, Social Studies, and Language Arts) Grade Level: Author: Sharon Crowley Call Table of Contents Background: "Goodness begins simply with the fact of life itself." Gwendolyn Brooks Just to see the sun rise and see people in their ordinary lives doing their ordinary daily tasks was extraordinary for Gwendolyn Brooks. As a poet and novelist, Gwendolyn believed that what she needed to write about were the ordinary things people did, because in them was magic. It was this belief that paved the way for her, the first black woman, to receive the Pulitzer Prize (1950) in poetry for her work Annie Allen (1949). Her other major works include A Street in Bronzeville The Bean Eaters Selected Poems In Mecca (1968), and one novel for children Maud Martha (1953). In her career as a poet she was also a wife, mother, and a teacher. She was eventually named Illinois' Poet Laureate in 1968, and served as the Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress from 1985-1986. She has been awarded over 50 honorary doctorates, and many prizes and awards. She is the only American to receive the Society of Literature Award from the University of Thessaloniki, Athens, Greece in 1990. A couple of her most notable contributions to learning has been to sponsor many poetry contests (in which she used her own money as rewards), and the many workshops she has taught encouraging young people to write.

Sadie was one of the livinigest chits In all the land. Sadie bore two babies Under her maiden name. Maud and Ma and Papa Nearly died of shame. When Sadie said her last so-long Her girls struck out from home. (Sadie left as heritage Her fine-toothed comb.) Maud, who went to college, Is a thin brown mouse. She is living all alone In this old house. I shall not sing a May song. A May song should be gay. I'll wait until November And sing a song of gray. I'll wait until November That is the time for me. I'll go out in the frosty dark And sing most terribly. And all the little people Will stare at me and say, "That is the Crazy Woman Who would not sing in May."

Extractions: (b. 1917) Contributing Editor: D. H. Melhem Brooks's work is generally accessible. Occasionally, however, and more likely in some earlier works, like Annie Allen and individual poems like "Riders to the Blood-red Wrath," intense linguistic and semantic compression present minor difficulties. My Gwendolyn Brooks: Poetry and the Heroic Voice can be used as a guide to her published works. As holds true for most poetry, Brooks's should be read aloud. In the process, its power (boosted by alliteration), the musicality, and the narrative are vivified. Although I have not had the opportunity to teach Brooks extensively, students seem taken with identity poems like "The Life of Lincoln West" and the didactic "Ballad of Pearl May Lee," which was Hughes's favorite. The narrative aspect seems to be especially appealing. As these are not in this anthology, you may wish to recommend them as extra reading. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues
