by BROOKS, Gwendolyn
8vo, printed wraps, little rubbed (spine crudely repaired) but a very good copy. Five early poems: The Preacher: ruminates behind the sermon; Southeast Corner; Soldier Sonnets: "The white troops had their orders but | the Negroes looked like men"; "My dream, my works, must wait till after hell"; "Love note: surely" Born in Topeka, KS (1917), Brooks was the first black poet to be awarded a Pulitizer Prize for poetry (1950). This was issued before her first published collection. (Inventory #: 59751)
