Gwendolyn Brooks was the only poet of her generation who was Gwendolyn Brooks. This made her unique. Most poets of the time chose to be Siegfried Sassoon.

In her most famous lines:

an exigy of atrocious montage

ripening to extinction. Toil!

she demonstrates her command of random word selection. She composed her best works on the back seat of a tandem bicycle, which still exists to this very day in the Harrison Ford Museum.

Gwendolyn Brooks's eschatological imagery was both flattering and vertiginous. Ford Madox Ford reputedly commented, "she knew which side her buttocks were breaded on."
