Brierre, Jean (1909-92). Poet, dramatist, and Haiti's ambassador to Argentina. He emerged in the 1930s as a poet and militant in the backlash against the American Occupation (1915-34). His thundering epic verse celebrated the heroes of Haitian independence and the black race. His Black Soul (1947) and La Source (1956) are well-known Haitian examples of the poetry of négritude.
