STERLING BROWN AND THE DIALECT OF NEW DEAL OPTIMISM.
- Authors
Carmody, Todd
- Abstract
The article focuses on Sterling Brown, a poet known for the authenticity and vitality of his dialect verse. It states that Brown recommended standardizing the dialect in line with his poetry to address the problematic constructions of words however the authenticity of the black voice was denaturalized. Furthermore, he says that Brown's poetry and works views the overlapping problem of publicity, exclusion and appropriation and seeks to create space for emerging politicized voices.
