One of my favorite poets. I can't believe it took me this long to read a collection, but it was so so good. Beautiful and sad, and funny and longing. Just everything.

I am a huge lover of Langston Hughes' poetry. Despite the fact that I am a white woman who will never know the depths of racism African Americans had to endure in this country, I honestly feel like Hughes helped all those who weren't going through this plight understand and be sympathetic to the cause. His poetry makes me want to be a better person. It inspires tolerance and understanding.
This book was a fabulous collection of Hughes' work. There are so many great poems that I don't know how I would ever be able to cover them all with a group of students. This will definitely be a collection I will acquire for my classroom library.

This is an extensive collection of poems, but I wish there was more information about why these poems were chosen. It also wasn't very clear which poem was from which previous collection, or which was new. Overall, I would have enjoyed the collection with some additional context or insight.
