Hughes wrote of the drama of his time with a sense of truth that continues to startle and move. "A poet," he once wrote, "is a human being. He wrote with eloquence, humor and a deep humanity.
Hughes was born in Missouri, worked as a manual laborer and traveled the world - the better, in the end, to know so intimately the realities of urban life for the displaced and rootless. Few poets have ever potrayed so vividly the black experience, its triumphs and travails, and in a language that cunningly dramatizes the folk vernacular. He was the first African-American to write civil-rights protest poetry, as well as the first to use jazz and the blues as a basis for a literary style. It is as a poet though, that he is best known, and his place at the center of Harlem Renaissance was enormously influential. Poetry, fiction, plays, autobiography, essays, libretti for operas and Broadway musicals, and cantatas - work streamed from his desk.
Langston Hughes (1902-1967) was a writer of astonishing range.
