WE REAL COOL SEEMS TO DEPICT THE MIND STATE OF LOST YOUTH THAT THINK ITS
COOL TO RUN THE STREETS AND SKIP SCHOOL. BUT IT ALSO CAN HAVE ANOTHER
MEANING SUCH AS GRADUATING FROM HIGH SCHOOL AND CELEBRATING. HOW WE
INTERPRET THE POEM CAN BE OF A GREAT VALUE.

While attending an "English Workshop" at Amherst College in the 70's, Miss
Brooks just happened to be visiting the campus one day. She was encouraged
to visit our group. One of our group volunteered to "read" this poem. He
started off by reading the lines "We real cool. We left school. We lurk
late", etc. When he was finished, Miss Brooks asked, "What makes you
think I meant to have the poem read in that fashion?"

She then proceeded to read it as she had intended it to be read:
We real cool. We (emphasis on We)

Left school. We (emphasis). The remainder of the poem followed this
pattern. Read in this manner truly reveals the underlying intent of the
author which was not apparent to the casual reader.



Comment No. 4 alludes to the use of "We" as having special meaning.
