Without research, do you know who Léopold Sédar Senghor is?


Just trying to get a sense of how much context I need to give to quoting in the Black Panther fic I am writing.

I did not know until I looked him up (but from brief research, he seems cool).

Yes. I must have been five or six when I read a translation of "Je veux dire ton nom" in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Talking to the Sun: An Illustrated Anthology of Poems for Young People (1985), accompanied by a photograph of the beautiful jasper Fragment of a Queen's Face. It was my favorite poem in the anthology. I looked him up on my own for the first time in high school.

OMG THAT'S WHAT IT'S CALLED thank you so much! I saw a picture of it once in passing and it has haunted me (in a good way) ever since.

You're welcome! It was "Fragment of a head of Queen Tiye" when I was a child, but apparently there are now other contenders. I also love it very much.

Never heard of him. Just looked him up and he seems interesting, though.

I do not, though my brief research suggests that I'd be very interested to know more.

For some reason I'm thinking poet but that's about it.

Yes BUT it's because I learned about Négritude from either Black Skin, White Masks or Sartre (or maybe Aimé Césaire?) and I had to look him up to be sure. And as a poet/theorist, not an actual leader.

The name rings a bell, but I couldn't have told you more than that without looking him up.

(Having looked him up: yes, I'm sure I heard his name as part of the contextualizing of some other Négritude authors whose works I read in French classes, and probably in looking up stuff about Senegal now and again. One of the many countries I really should know more about than I do.)
