Poet, playwright, novelist, graduate of DeWitt Clinton High, New York University, and Harvard University, Countee Cullen (1903-1946) emerged as a leading literary figure of the Harlem Renaissance. Copper Sun, his second book of poetry, explores the emotional consequences of being black, Christian, bisexual, and a poet in Jazz Age America, such as in the following "Confession":If for a day joy masters me,Think not my wounds are healed;Far deeper than the scars you see,I keep the roots concealed.They shall bear blossoms with the fall;I have their word for this,Who tend my roots with rains of gall,And suns of prejudice.The impact of Cullen's poems is amplified by 16 enigmatic Art Deco engravings created by Charles Cullen (no relation).
