What a delight-a cultural treat-to read the winning poems in the 1992 Gwendolyn Brooks Poet Laureate contest. What a wonderful opportunity to reward talented, young students throughout Illinois.
Gwendolyn Brooks has chosen well. The student poems are widely diversified and alive with energy and metaphor. The young poets remind us that poetry must speak of the human condition honestly . . . in a vital and meaningful way.
