Carolyn Rodgers
Carolyn Marie Rodgers (December 14, 1940,〔according to Library of Congress Authority Files her birth year was 1940, although their source seems to be the ''New York Times'' (see: http://authorities.loc.gov/webvoy.htm〕 Chicago, Illinois – April 2, 2010, Chicago, Illinois) was a Chicago-based American poet 〔BRUCE WEBER, "Carolyn Rodgers, Poet, Is Dead at 69", ''NY Times'', April 19, 2010, ()〕 and a founder of one of America’s oldest and largest black presses, Third World Press. She got her start in the literary circuit as a young woman studying under Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Gwendolyn Brooks in the South Side of Chicago.
Later, Rodgers began writing her own works, which grappled with black identity and culture in the late 1960s. Rodgers was a leading voice of the Black Arts Movement and authored nine books, including ''How I got Ovah'' (1975). She was also an essayist and critic, and her work has been described as delivered in a language rooted in a black female perspective〔(Funeral Held For Chicago Poet Founding Black Press )〕 that wove strands of feminism, black power, spirituality, and writerly self-consciousness into a sometimes raging, sometimes ruminative search for identity.
==Life and work==
Rodgers first attended college at the University of Illinois in 1960, but transferred to Chicago’s Roosevelt University in 1961 where she earned her BA degree in 1965. She later earned a MA in English from the University of Chicago in 1980. Rodgers is most well known for her writing contributions to the Black Arts Movement (BAM). Rodgers first became involved in writing during that period while attending Writers Workshops by the Organization of Black American Culture (OBAC) and Gwendolyn Brooks.
She became distinctive as a new black woman poet in the 1960s with the publication of her first two books, ''Paper Soul'' and ''Songs of a Blackbird'' (Chicago: Third World Press, 1969). Following the national success of ''Paper Soul'', Rodgers was awarded the first Conrad Kent Rivers Memorial Fund Award. Rodgers also won the Poet Laureate Award from the Society of Midland Authors in 1970. She then went on to receive an award from the National Endowment of the Arts, following the publication of ''Songs of a Blackbird''. In 1980, Rodgers won the Carnegie Writer's Grant. She won the Television Gospel Tribute in 1982 and the PEN Grant in 1987. In 2009, Rodgers was inducted into the International Literary Hall of Fame for Writers of African Descent at the Gwendolyn Brooks Center for Black Literature and Creative Writing.
