A commission from the Bronx Council on the Arts for exhibition in Woodlawn Cemetery, honoring the poet of the Harlem Renaissance. Cullen, who died at 43, contemplates his youthful fame in the form of a "marble" bust. Both "marble" and "bronze" are made of cement, evoking the "rare earth" in his poem. Now in the collection of the New York Public Library.
