MAR'IE JOE BROWN EXPRESSES HER VIEWS ON NEGRO POETRY

"Ne"'groes are decidedly nOt as interested in the writings of their own race as they should be", declared Miss Marie Joe Brown, dramatic artist, to the reporter.

That the lack of interest might be accounted for in the fact that they do not understand and appreciate the writ­ings VJaS an opinion 8iven by the artist.

Iiliss Brown convinces one of the previous declaration in the statement which follows: "Frank Marshall Davis, a contemporary Negro writer, has published two books in the last three years. He has noted that 90% of his books are purchased by whites.u

Miss Brown gave suggestions fo? interest improvement-suggestions vmich can be used effectively in our institu­tion •

"If people' find it impossible to contact authors; they can read their poems and books," continued Hiss Brown.

Many peoplo. because they cannot do big things, often let the little things pass, "Oft times it is the little things that count for so much", she added.

"I think that Negro poetry is just grand and is gradually coming into its own",she asserted. .

Miss Brown, it might be interestlng to note; is an orphan; therefore, she found it necessary to work laboriously for her education'and training. "When n ot on the road", says :Miss Brown,. "I act as secretary to a white doctor" 11

The artist studios after office hours; therefore, she can give no . definite period required for masterlng such a selection as "Sailing on the Quee Nary "But she stated, it does require

11 • • " intensive and continuous practlce. She studied under ~ private teacher

be~ause she found that a' certain amount of lndependenQe was hers,

Her work is not wholly confJned to making appearances at schools and eolleges. She often appears at lihite clubs and makes a practice of initiating her performance with Negro peetry because she fee, that the whites should unde~ stand and appreciate Negro poetry as ~ as other poetry.
