(Born 1 February 1902, Joplin, Missouri, US)
One of the most distinguished alumni of the Harlem Renaissance
of the 1920s-1930s – prolific award-winning poet, novelist, playwright,
columnist, freedom movement activist
First published in 1926 by Hughes, just 24, the poems here in The Weary Blues are a preview of the enduring liberatory
portraiture of a stretch of anthologies and other writings that the savant contributes
to African American and world literature
