Vintage, 1995. Paperback. Very Good. The ultimate book for both the dabbler and serious scholar--. [Hughes] is sumptuous and sharp, playful and sparse, grounded in an earthy music--. Thi s book is a glorious revelation."--Boston Globe Spanning five decades and comprising 868 poems (nearly 300 of which have ne ver before appeared in book form), this magnificent volume is the definitiv e sampling of a writer who has been called the poet laureate of African Ame rica--and perhaps our greatest popular poet since Walt Whitman. Here, for t he first time, are all the poems that Langston Hughes published during his lifetime, arranged in the general order in which he wrote them and annotate d by Arnold Rampersad and David Roessel. Alongside such famous works as "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" and Montage of a Dream Deferred, The Collected Poems includes the author's lesser-known verse for children; topical poems distributed through the Associated Negro Press; and poems such as "Goodbye Christ" that were once suppressed. Lyrical and pungent, passionate and polemical, the result is a treasure of a book, the essential collection of a poet whose words have entered our common language.
