Borders, Senior Manuscript Librarian, Amistad Research Center iv Biographical Notes—Countee Cullen1 A leading figure of the 1920s Harlem Renaissance, lyric poet, playwright, and novelist, Countee Cullen attempted to downplay the element of race and preferred to be known as a poet rather than as a Negro poet. 1903 May 302: born to Elizabeth Lucas (1885-1940) of Louisville, Kentucky ca. 1912 brought to New York City at about age 9 by Mrs. Porter, who was probably his grandmother 1917 June: graduated from P.S. 27 at only 14; September: entered DeWitt Clinton High School, where he was one of two Negroes in a graduating class of 300; member of Arista (high school honor society); won the Douglas Fairbanks Oratorical Contest; editor of the Clinton News; associate editor of the school’s literary magazine, The Magpie; maintained a scholastic average of 93; won a New York Regents’ Scholarship; offered scholarships by both New York and Columbia Universities wrote first poem, his only free verse one titled “To the Swimmer,” which won a high school contest and was published in Modern School Magazine (May 1918) gained widespread attention by winning second place in a poetry contest, sponsored by the Federation of Women’s Clubs, for “I Have a Rendezvous with Life” 1918 adopted informally, after Mrs. Porter’s death on January 1, by the Rev.

The greater part of the collection consists of the correspondence of Countee Cullen (1921-1945) and his writings. Cullen’s correspondence details his activities in giving poetry readings and occasional lectures, his assistant editorship of Opportunity, his travels to and studies in France, his teaching career at Frederick Douglass Junior High School and the friendship that former pupils retained for him, and his service on committees. Above all, his correspondence reveals his wide acquaintance with his literary contemporaries, the progress of his literary accomplishments, and his intense interest in writing. Of Countee Cullen—a leading figure in the Harlem Renaissance, lyric poet, novelist, and playwright—an unidentified 1946 newspaper obituary reads: He was one of a resurgent literary group which included Langston Hughes, Wallace Thurman, Rudolph Fisher, Jessie Fauset, Eric Waldron, Zora Neale Hurston, Gwendolyn Bennett, Harold Jackman, Aaron Douglas, Dorothy Peterson, Helene Johnson, Dorothy West, and others. Their meeting place was “The Dark Tower” named by Mme. A’Lelia Walker, in whose townhouse at 108 West 136th Street it was located, in honor of Cullen’s poems. It was a great company of literary folk that met at “The Dark Tower”—Alain Locke, James Weldon Johnson, Walter White, Charles S. Johnson, Carl Van Vechten, and others who inspired the younger literary set in those days of creative thinking and writing. With the exception of Wallace Thurman and Rudolph Fisher (of whom mention is made, however), all of the above are correspondents of Countee Cullen, most of them writing numerous letters. Other black literary correspondents are Arna Bontemps, W.E.B. DuBois, Owen Dodson, Claude McKay, and Jean Toomer. Other letters by poets of the day are in the correspondence concerning Caroling Dusk: An Anthology of Negro Poets edited by Countee Cullen, with illustrations by Aaron Douglas (1927). A lively view of literary and social life and its personalities in the late 1920s and early 1930s are found in the letters of Harold Jackman, lifelong friend of Countee Cullen. In these same letters are echoes of the life led by the visiting and expatriate Negro in Paris of the day. Alain Locke, Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, Paul Robeson, Richard Wright, and Countee Cullen were among the company that shuttled from Harlem to Paris as often as possible. Other letters that are evocative of this world are those of Dorothy West, Etienne Hervier, Roy de Coverley, Stephen and Sophie Greene, and Rex Littleboy. Among luminaries in the publishing world are Frederick A. Allen and John Farrar, editors of Harper & Bros.; Ralph Cheyney and his wife, Lucia Trent; Nancy Cunard; Benjamin Musser; Leah Salisbury, Cullen’s agent; and John J. Trounstine. ix Included among other principal correspondents are Witter Bynner, Edith Brower, Marian C. Deane, Charles H. Marsh, E. Merrill Root, William Grant Still, Ruth Marie Thomas, Virgil Thompson, and Hale Woodruff. In the scant correspondence of Countee Cullen’s adoptive father, the Rev. Frederick A. Cullen, there are a few letters from Mary McLeod Bethune (African American educator who founded Bethune-Cookman College). The correspondence of Cullen’s widow, Ida Mae (Roberson) Cullen, carries on her husband’s interests in the publication of On These I Stand (1947); deals with literary rights to print Cullen’s poems in other works and to set various poems to music; forwards the production of his plays, particularly St. Louis Woman; establishes memorials to him; oversees the disposition of his papers; and details her own occupation for about five years as co-owner of the AfroArts Bazaar, where imported jewelry and artifacts were sold. Some of Mrs. Cullen’s principal correspondents are Arna Bontemps, Owen Dodson, Jessie Fauset, Langston Hughes, and Leah Salisbury. The writings of Countee Cullen in this collection are manuscripts of his juvenile novels The Lost Zoo (1940), My Lives and How I Lost Them (1942), and The Monkey Baboon (unpublished, n.d.); his plays, The Medea of Euripides (1935), One Way to Heaven (1932), Heaven’s My Home by Cullen and Harry Hamilton (unpublished, n.d.), and St. Louis Woman by Arna Bontemps and Cullen (1935 and later versions). Also included are poems set to music and an assortment of miscellaneous items: an article, a book review, two letters to the editor, two speeches, a radio serial, and a short story. In addition to Cullen’s writings, there is the autobiography From Barefoot Town to Jerusalem (privately printed, n.d.) of the Rev. Frederick Asbury Cullen. There are also several speeches by Ida Mae (Roberson) Cullen. An interesting group of writings are the poems, especially those set to music and dedicated or presented to Countee Cullen. These include early poems by Jessie Fauset, Langston Hughes, and others less well known. Additional items are theses and articles written about Cullen’s life and literary stature, as well as his schoolwork, particularly poems by his pupils. Evidences of the cultural and social life from 1921 to 1945 are also found in the programs, invitations, pamphlets, leaflets, scrapbooks, and clippings collected by the Cullens. However, most of the clippings concern Cullen directly such as reviews of his successive literary works, write-ups on speaking engagements, announcements of his winning a Guggenheim Fellowship, the purchase of a new home, his marriages and travels, and Cullen family obituaries. Among the items in the repository copy, but not included in the microfilm edition, are certain volumes, phonograph records, librettos, financial records, and class cards. The phonograph records reflect the cultural life and times and contain some of Cullen’s home recordings and radio speeches. Other records have a Harlem theme, and there is some calypso music. x PAPERS OF COUNTEE CULLEN 1921-1969 Reels 1-7 1 Papers of Countee Cullen, 1921-1969 Reel No. Box No. 1 1 Folder Reel Contents No. 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Correspondence: Family, Business, A-C Correspondence: Family, 1940-1945 Correspondence: Family, C.
