Today we tell about the life of award-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks. She was the first African American to win a Pulitzer Prize for Literature.
Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She had more than twenty books published. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding about black culture in America.
Gwendolyn Brooks wrote many poems about being black during the Nineteen-Forties and Nineteen-Fifties. Her poems described conditions among the poor, racial inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women.
But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She was an expert at the language of poetry. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.今天，我们讲到的是格温多林。布鲁克斯(1917-2000)，第一位获得普利策文学奖的非洲裔美国诗人。
格温多琳一生中创作了大量诗歌，出版了二十多部诗集。她是全世界著名的用诗歌的语言来增强人们对美国黑人文化的了解的人。
格温多林.布鲁克斯在二十世纪四、五十年代创作了许多反映黑人生活的诗歌，她的诗歌描写了黑人社会中的贫穷、种族不平等和吸毒的现象，她还创作了反映黑人妇女抗争的事迹。
但她的创作水平远远超过她创作反映黑人斗争的能力，她是一位诗歌语言的专家，她将传统的欧洲诗歌风格和非洲裔美国人在美国的经历很巧妙地结合在一起。
