Gwendolyn Brooks
Gwendolyn Brooks was born in Topeka Kansas in 1917. At the age of 13 one of her first poems was published in a children’s book; this would be the precursor to her career as a great American poet. In 1950, Gwendolyn’s second book of poetry Annie Allen was given the Pulitzer Prize, making her the first African-American to win such an award. In 1968, she was made Poet Laureate of Illinois, the state of her life’s residence.
