By the end of the Nineteen-Sixties, Gwendolyn Brooks's poetry expanded from the everyday experiences of people in Bronzeville. She wrote about a wider world and dealt with important political issues. She won praise for her sharper, real-life poetic style.
Gwendolyn Brooks was affected by the civil rights struggles and social changes taking place in America. She began to question her relations with whites. She said she felt that black poets should write for black people.
That became evident in her next collection of poetry in Nineteen-Sixty-Eight called "In the Mecca." Critics suggested Mizz Brooks had become too political and seemed to be writing only for black people. Her new poems received little notice in the press.到二十世纪六十年代末，格温多林.布鲁克斯的诗歌从布朗兹维尔区人们的日常生活经历中延伸出去，她创作的视角更加广阔，并涉及到了一些重要的政治问题。她因为尖锐和真实的诗歌风格而受到赞誉。格温多林.布鲁克斯受到当时正在美国发生的民权运动和社会变革的影响，她开始质问她与白人之间的关系，她说，她觉得黑人诗人应该为黑人而创作，这在她于1968年出版的诗集得到了体现，这部诗集是()。评论家们暗示，布鲁克斯女士太关注政治了，而且似乎只为黑人写诗。她的新诗在媒体上没有得到什么关注。
