In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago. The South Side of Chicago is where many black people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was "A Street in Bronzeville" that gained the attention of literary experts in Nineteen-Forty-Five. Critics praised her poetic skill and her powerful descriptions about the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.
Here she is reading from her Nineteen-Forty-Five collection, "A Street in Bronzeville."
"My father, it is surely a blue place and straight. Right, regular, where I shall find no need for scholarly nonchalance or looks a little to the left or guards upon the heart."格温多林.布鲁克斯曾经说过，她创作的诗歌体现了她在大街上所看到和所听到的一切，她说，她从她家的窗户中看到了绝大多数的创作素材，她住在伊利诺斯州芝加哥市的一幢二层的公寓中。在她早期的诗歌中，格温多林.布鲁克斯反映的是芝加哥市南部的一些情况。芝加哥市南部是许多黑人居住的地方。在她的诗歌中，芝加哥市南部被她称之为“布朗兹维尔”区(Bronzeville)，正是1945年的()引起了文学专家们的关注，评论家们赞扬她创作诗歌的能力和生动地描写了当时黑人的生活经历。(是她出版的第一部诗集，下面就是她朗读该诗集中的1945年创作的中的一段。
格温多林.布鲁克斯：“我的父亲，这的确是一个宁静的地方，而且很整齐。是的，这个地方很有秩序，在这里，我没有必要寻找那种淡淡的学者气质，或者去寻找我心中那点留恋或警惕什么的。”
