Originally published in 1932, this new edition (from 1994) is beautifully illustrated by Brian Pinkney and includes seven extra poems. “Poem” will always be my favorite work by Hughes. There are so many sweet poems in this collection. Hughes is known as one of the great voices of 1930s Harlem. His work is soft and dreamy, but incredibly powerful. This is great collection to introduce readers to Hughes or to poetry.

Poetry that was not written for me, and yet, I can still deeply appreciate it.
Great introduction to LH. Read to my 9,7,5 year old boys.
This is an excellent poetry book by Langston Hughes. If you have never read anything by Langston Hughes this is a great place to start. This book of poetry takes the reader back to what it was like during the Jim Crow era. He uses jazz and black folks' rhymes in his poetry that makes it easy for any African American to relate to. Some of my favorite poems in this collection are " Mother to Son"," The Weary Blues"," Po Boy Blues", "The Negro Speaks of Rivers", and last but not least" A Daybreak in Alabama".
