Peering Inside Her World
Created: 14/06/06
Brooks' poems here are deceptively simple. They are steeped in traditional poetic technique, display humor, especially of the ironic variety. Her poetry opens a door for the rest of us to peer into the world of black Americans in mid-Twentieth Century. As such, she had done both blacks anbd whites a valuable sociological and literary service.
