Response to Stephanie Sowell's Post#13 Countee Cullen

First I love your site form the image down to the font of the text that you use. Countee Cullen is an interesting and very intelligent poet. He is best remembered for those lines that he said that Langston Hughes blew out of proportion but his works should be considered memorable also. He is not my favorite writer of this period (Claude McKay) but his works invite you to think about race. Although he did not want to b e considered a "black poet" his works told otherwise because of some of the topics he chose. My favorite poem by him is Yet How Do I Marvel because of how it tries to ponder the question of GOD's intention and works. This is my favorite poem by him. Yet How Do I Marvel could have been written in Their Eyes Were Watching GOD because of Janie's relationship and interest in GOD. Also it could have been placed in The Color Purple also.
