Selected Poems of Langston Hughes: A Classic Collection of Poems by a Master of American Verse by Langston Hughes

5.0

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.
