Here, for the first time, are all the poems that Langston Hughes published during his lifetime, arranged in the general order in which he wrote them & annotated by Arnold Rampersad & David Roessel. Alongside such famous works as "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" & "Montage of a Dream Deferred", "The Collected Poems" includes the author's lesser-known verse for children; topical poems distributed through the Associated Negro Press; & poems such as "Goodbye Christ" that were once suppressed. Lyrical and pungent, passionate and polemical, the result is a treasure of a book, the essential collection of a poet whose words have entered our common language. * ABOUT THE POET: LANGSTON HUGHES was born in Joplin, Missouri, in 1902. After graduation from high school, he spent a year in Mexico w/ his father, then a year studying at Columbia University. His first poem in a nationally known magazine was "The Negro Speaks of Rivers," which appeared in Crisis in 1921. In 1925, he was awarded the First Prize for Poetry of the magazine Opportunity, the winning poem being "The Weary Blues," which gave its title to his first book of poems, published in 1926. As a result of his poetry, Mr. Hughes received a scholarship at Lincoln University in Pennsylvania, where he won his B.A. in 1929. In 1943, he was awarded an honorary Litt.D. by his alma mater; he has also been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship (1935), a Rosenwald Fellowship (1940), & an American Academy of Arts & Letters Grant (1947). From 1926 until his death in 1967, Langston Hughes devoted his time to writing & lecturing. He wrote poetry, short stories, autobiography, song lyrics, essays, humor, & plays. A cross section of his work was published in 1958 as "The Langston Hughes Reader". * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for our posted below-cost additional fee of $14.00 & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations at our posted rates.
