A review by czarina_misha
The Dream Keeper and Other Poems by Langston Hughes, Lee Bennett Hopkins, Brian Pinkney

emotional inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

5.0

 

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.
