"I was a victim of a stereotype. There were only two of us Negro kids in the whole class and our English teacher was always stressing the importance of rhythm in poetry. Well, everyone knows, except us, that all Negroes have rhythm, so they elected me as class poet." Excellent!!!

The work of Langston Hughes is sublime. I have studied Walt Whitman and Robert Frost and they are great. I have read and studied the work of many other poets as creative writing is an important part of my life. Langston Hughes work is the work that I really connect with completely. It is heart to heart. I feel he is the greatest American poet. This book is fabulous. I will look for it in hard-back but am thrilled to have it at all.
The product was just what I expected.
