Oh, huh, I went and looked and there is exactly one poem that I'm familiar with by her, but I feel like we got it every year in our reading textbooks so I have seen her name a lot of times, even if it was only attached to the one poem :P

It also occurs to me that every year, for Black History Month every year we got a canned set of people we were supposed to learn about, of whom Brooks might have been one?

Though I suppose when I go look at Plath, I think that "Daddy" and "Lady Lazarus" were the only poems that we either got in school or in general cultural osmosis -- I don't think we ever read them in class specifically, but I think they must have been in at least one of our reading textbooks. I did buy and read all of Ariel in high school, but that was outside of class after being fascinated with those. Oh, and then The Bell Jar was on a bunch of my high school reading lists (as recommended reading, not required reading -- I think I read it in college).
