Here the poem: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/archive/poem.html?id=172095

I trying to understand this poem .

Do you understand when she says:
the different tins are intense last entires
a monstrous pearl or grace
Black stone bitter bureaus
rhymes of Leaning
Somebody Terribly Dying, under the pilanthropy of robins.

This is what I see, kind of different from yours:

The Blackstone bitter bureaus
(bureaucracy is footloose) edit, fuse
unfashionable damnations and descent;
and exulting, monstrous hand on monstrous hand,
construct, strangely, a monstrous pearl or grace.

. . . . And Brooks is alluding to the bureaucratic nature of Black leaders. They edit, combine some resolutions that include parts they condemn thus eventually coming up with an appealing document, full of grace which then they present to the powers that be. Gwendolyn graced one some of their sessions hence, her eye witness account when King, X, et al agitated during the civil rights movements of the 60s.
Double check your sources and links.
*I hope you know why the community has not responded to your question. Folks are reluctant to venture opening suspicious links because of viruses like Trojan circulating around that mess up PCs.

good luck
