	Gwendolyn Brooks' Life and Career
		Just as receiving a Pulitzer Prize for poetry marked a milestone in her career, so also did her selection by the National Endowment for the Humanities as the 1994 Jefferson Lecturer, the highest award in the humanities given by the federal government.
		Her poetry moves from traditional forms including ballads, sonnets, variations of the Chaucerian and Spenserian stanzas as well as the rhythm of the blues to the most unrestricted free verse.
		In her narrative poetry the stories are simple but usually transcend the restrictions of place; in her dramatic poetry, the characters are often memorable not because of any heroism on their part but merely because they are trying to survive from day to day.

	Online NewsHour: Pulitzer Pize Winner- April 19,2000
		ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: The winner in poetry this year was C.K. Williams for his book, "Repair." It touches on many topics, from the death of Martin Luther King to the housedresses worn by the poet's mother and her friends.
		I think poetry always lives its life, and people come to it and people go away from it, "people" in the sense of larger numbers of people.
		It's as though you begin to think that poetry is a resource, and that at certain times people seem to need it or want it or can find sustenance in it, and at other times they can't.
