{{italic title}}Maud Martha is the only novel written by Pulitzer Prize winning African American poet Gwendolyn Brooks. Published in 1953 by Harper & Brothers and reprinted by Third World Press, it includes a series of vignettes following the title character Maud Martha as she negotiates the passage from childhood to adulthood in black Chicago neighbourhoods.[1][1]StyleStructurally, the novel has a nonlinear narrative, that also is explained in poetic language unusual to novels. Rather, as critic GerShun Avilez describes it, it is a "fragmentary poetic narrative."[2] Other critics focus on its artistic connection to Brook's poetry; Asali Solomon highlighted the language of the novel saying that it is good at "gracefully evoking the nastiness of life."[1] ReceptionReviewing the novel for NPR in 2006, Asali Solomon said the character's life "resembles your life or mine: good days and bad, no headlines."[3] References1. ^{{Cite web|first = Elizabeth |last = Taylor | title = "Maud Martha" by Gwendolyn Brooks| work = Chicago Tribune|date = February 13, 2010| accessdate = 2014-04-16| url = http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2010-02-13/features/chi-maud-martha-by-gwnedolyn-brook-121010_1_maud-martha-poet-laureate-gwendolyn-brooks-center}}
