Martin Luther King Jr. was a man who accomplished remarkable things. His name is known and respected nation-wide. Gwendolyn Brooks, simply using his name as the title of her poem, AMartin Luther King Jr.,@ describes this leader=s strong presence beautifully. In Brook=s poem, a main theme of timeless inspiration is noted. Brooks utilizes carefully chosen words to highlight this theme, but the time that she wrote this poem, in 1970, brings about even more depth to the theme of timeless inspiration, because King was dead when this poem was written. This piece of historical information, as well as many others regarding the events that occurred during the time this poem was written and throughout the years prior, are what makes the theme of Brooks=s poem so much more important and effective.
