Countee Cullen (born Countee LeRoy Porter; May 30, 1903 – January 9, 1946) was an American poet, novelist, children's writer, and playwright, particularly well-known during the Harlem Renaissance.Raised by a woman believed to be his paternal grandmother, Countee Cullen was informally adopted at the age of 15 by Reverend F.A. Cullen, the minister of Salem M.E. Church—one of the largest congregations in Harlem. While still a schoolboy, he won a citywide poetry contest, and his winning stanzas were widely reprinted. At New York University, where he earned his B.A. in 1925, Cullen received the prestigious Witter Bynner Poetry Prize and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. His poetry was frequently published in major American literary magazines, and his first collection, Color (1925), garnered critical acclaim even before he graduated.

Cullen went on to earn his M.A. from Harvard University in 1926 and served as an assistant editor for Opportunity magazine. In 1928, shortly before leaving for France on a Guggenheim Fellowship, he married Yolande Du Bois, the daughter of W.E.B. Du Bois, though they divorced in 1930. Despite the publication of The Black Christ and Other Poems (1929), his reputation as a poet began to wane. From 1934 until his death, Cullen taught in New York City public schools. His other notable works include Copper Sun (1927), The Ballad of the Brown Girl (1928), and The Medea and Some Poems (1935). He also authored the novel One Way to Heaven (1932), which offers a vivid portrayal of life in Harlem.
