Gwendolyn Brooks: On "We Real Cool"
The WEs in "We Real Cool" are tiny, wispy, weakly argumentative "Kilroy-is-here" announcements. The boys have no accented sense of themselves, yet they are aware of a semi-defined personal importance. Say the "We" softly.
Brooks, Gwendolyn. Report from Part One. Detroit: Broadside Press, 1972.
