Harlem Shadows: The Poems of Claude Mckay by Claude McKay

emotional fast-paced

4.0

I was delighted to discover McKay seemed to especially enjoy writing about winter, and he wrote well about ideas of race and home, too. It was easy to feel the drudgery that could be life in New York, the longing for what his life was like in Jamaica, and bursts of hope or mirth when celebrating moments of affection or a new dawn.
