Page A14-The Chronicle, Thursd Brooks reads n young boy named Lincoln West, a small dark-skinned child with a plump little nose and lips. West loved everybody, but most of his friends "hated him because of his dark-skin. One day at the theater a white man said to a friend about young West, "He is black and ugly and odd. You can see the savagery ... .That's the real thing," the man said. In reading the poem, Brooks emphasized the phrase "The real fhino" u/hir>h K*r>am? nillVtl WVVIUIIV Jlgllll IVOIIl for West, because he became proud of his color, and gained strength through his individuality. Before reading the poem, she made a comment on Michael Jackson's nose operation. 44I love Micheal Jackson," Brooks said. 44You would be surprised at the dances 1 can do in my living room to Billie Jean. 441 know this is a new day. But 1 just wish he would have left his nose alone." .

Brooks' primary concern as a young child was 4'putting rhymes together" in her composition notebook which she filled with thoughts about nature, love and death. With her mother's encouragement, she sent poems to authors James Weldon Johnson and Langston Hughes. Both men gave her positive comments about her poetry, urging her to continue to write. Her first volume of poetry was "A Street In Bronzeville" which was published in 1945 and hailed by critics for its passion, authenticity, sincerity and freshness. Her second volume of verses, "Annie Allen," established her as a major voice in contemporary literature. The book, written in the sonnet-ballad form, traces the growth of a Bronzeville black girl and examines loneliness, death and poverty. Some of her other books include: "Maud Martha," "Bronzeville Boys and Girls" and "The Bean Eaters."

The young poets transformed Brooks' thinking about the role of art and politics. After returning to Chicago, Brooks' house became a gathering place for many of the young black artists who were experimenting with the relationship between art and ideology of the black power movement. Mcr transformation was reflected in her poetry. In her book, "In the Mecca," a 30-page title poem describing a mother's frantic search for her lost daughter in a sprawling, decrepit apartment house. The search uncovered the desperate,?often ? tragic lives of the building inhabitants. Brooks still lives on the South Side of Chicago with her husband, Henry Blakely, a businessman.
