High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Toi Derricotte (pronounced DARE-i-cot ) (b. April 12, 1941 in Hamtramck, Michigan) is an American poet. At Wayne State University she earned a B.A. in 1965 and an M.A. in 1984 at New York University in English literature.Derricotte was born the daughter of Antonia Baquet, a Creole from Louisiana, and Benjamin Sweeney Webster, a Kentucky native, and later half-sister to Benjamin, Jr. At around ten or eleven years old, she began a secret journal that included, among other things, the disintegration of her parents' marriage and the death of her grandmother on whom she was very emotionally dependent. During her years at Detroit's Girls Catholic Central High School, Derricotte recounts a religious education that she felt was steeped in images of death and punishment, a Catholicism that, according to the poet, morbidly paraded "the crucifixion, saints, martyrs in the Old Testament and the prayers of the Mass."
