Gwendolyn Brooks was a truly amazing woman. ''We Real Cool'' is a very significant poem.
P.S. e. e. cummings is spelled wrong in the beggining of the article. It says e. c. cummings, whereas it should be e. e. If someone could fix that it would make the page seem more legitimate.

"They had never had one in the house before.
The strangeness of it all. Like unleashing
A lion, really. Poised
To pounce. A puma. A panther. A black
Bear." |
|
Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917), U.S. poet. "Bronzeville Woman in a Red Hat."

"The lariat lynch-wish I deplored./The loveliest lynchee was our Lord." |
|
