In the early 1980s, I was in writing workshops with Alice Notley, who recently passed away, and one night she invited Gwendolyn Brooks as a guest workshop instructor. I remember the powerful energy Gwendolyn Brooks brought to the room, and how lucky each of us felt to be there that night.
Gwendolyn Brooks was born (1917)
