Langston Hughes electrified readers and launched a renaissance in Black writing in Americathe poems in this collection were chosen by Hughes himself shortly before his death and represent stunning work from his entire career.The poems Hughes wrote celebrated the experience of invisible men and women: of slaves who 'rushed the boots of Washington'; of musicians on Lenox Avenue; of the poor and the lovesick; of losers in 'the raffle of night.' They conveyed that experience in a voice that blended the spoken with the sung, that turned poetic lines into the phrases of jazz and blues, and that ripped through the curtain separating high from popular culture. They spanned the range from the lyric to the polemic, ringing out 'wonder and pain and terrorand the marrow of the bone of life.'The collection includes 'The Negro Speaks of Rivers,' 'The Weary Blues,' 'Still Here,' 'Song for a Dark Girl,' 'Montage of a Dream Deferred,' and 'Refugee in America.' It gives us a poet of extraordinary range, directness, and stylistic virtuosity.
