The Dream Keeper: And Other Poems by Langston Hughes

5.0

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".
