The Dream Keeper and Other Poems by Langston Hughes

5.0

I can't believe I'd never read Langston Hughes before.  I mean, I must have somewhere, at some point, but not all at once like this.  Wow, what an amazing poet.  He uses so many different styles and rhymes and themes and symbols, it's honestly amazing.  He has a mind like no other, and it shows.  And Brian Pinkney's art, too!  What a perfect artist to accompany these poems.  Together, they make a powerful couple, helping to illuminate and describe each other.  

This is a beautiful compilation that deserves a spot on your bookshelf.
