She published her first book of poetry, Black Feeling Black Talk, in 1968, after which she became one of America’s most widely read poets, writing many books of poetry for children and adults. She called herself, “a Black American, a daughter, a mother, a professor of English.” She was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, and grew up in Lincoln Heights, an all-black suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio. She studied at Fisk University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Columbia University. |
