About this title

Synopsis

Gathers poetry and prose by Cullen, Zora Neale Hurston, and Langston Hughes, leading literary figures of the Harlem Renaissance

Reviews

Cullen (1903-46), Harlem Renaissance poet and man of letters, is perhaps best known for the couplet "Yet do I marvel at this curious thing:/ to make a poet black, and bid him sing." His poems infuse a Keatsean prosody with the existential concerns of being black, American, and Christian: "It is a rare and tantalizing fruit/ Our hands reach for, but nothing absolute." Lauded by educated blacks and whites of the Twenties, Cullen's work has been neglected in recent years. This long-overdue collection expands a poetry selection released soon after his death. More poems, a novel, essays, translations, speeches, an interview by James Baldwin, notes, and more have been added by Early, whose fine introduction is a moving portrait of a man whose biography has proven elusive. Highly recommended.
