#ThankfulThoughts #wisewomenday Three great women who I consider really wise !
“Art hurts ,art urges voyages-and it is easier to stay at home.” Today is the birthday of Gwendolyn Brooks (1917-2000)She was the first African American to win the Pulitzer.It was for her poetry collection Annie Allen.I felt I missed out on a lot not finding her sooner, a writer of power and one who pulled no punches when writing of the human condition.
“The fun was disturbed, then all but nullified
When the Dark Villain was a blackish child
Of fourteen, with eyes still too young to be dirty,
And a mouth too young to have lost every reminder
Of its infant softness.”
Gwendolyn 🙏🏽 #poetry #nationalpoetrymonth
