Selected Poems (Perennial Classics)
"When Miss Brooks...writes out of her heart, out of her rich and living background, out of her very real talent, then she induces almost unbearable excitement." --New York Times"From her poet's craft bursts a whole gallery of wholly alive persons...Many a novelist cannot do so well in ten times the space." --Christian Science Monitor"She is a very good poet, the only superlative I dare use in our time of misusage; compared...to the best of modern poets, she ranks high." --Harvey Curtis Webster
