By: Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, Langston Hughes, Emily Dickinson, T S. Eliot, Marianne Moore
Publisher: Dover Publications
January 21, 1998

I was not surprised by the content. It had all of the classics I was hoping for and more. Dover Thrift Edition is a wonderful way to go when you want to read more than the junk being put out today. Plus, the price is definitely right!! They have all the classic novels and poems that you could ever want or need! I do recommend this book specifically, it is great especially for someone new... more

By: Langston Hughes
Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing/Atheneum
January 06, 2009

a colleague showed me this book today, and it immediately moved me to tears! i grew up hearing such negative things about my skin color, so to see this poem combined with photographs that celebrate Black people of every age and hue is wonderful. i would be proud to give this to my young nieces!... more

3. Mule Bone: A Comedy of Negro Life in Three Acts3.50 out of 5.00 stars
By: Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes
Publisher: Harper Perennial
February 01, 1991

Aside from the controversy of the dispute between Hughes and Hurston, I deal with the story and play itself.

The play "Mule Bone" is based on "The Bone of Contention," a 1930 short story by the Queen of Black Folklore (ZNH) based on a folktale from her hometown of Eatonville Fla. about two men who fight over a turkey. One uses a Mule bone to assault the other, and the town's Black Baptists... more

By: Langston Hughes
Publisher: Vintage
October 31, 1995

Great book and a great voice. It's better than a History Textbook in the times of the Black struggle during the 30's and 40's. I recommend it strongly for anyone who wants to teach or study modern Black History ... more

5. The Negro Speaks of Rivers5.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: Langston Hughes
Publisher: Hyperion Book CH
January 06, 2009

The Negro Speaks of Rivers was written by Langston when he was only 20. It shows a precociousness, if that word can be applied to a young man, and certainly an adept talent of expression if precociousness is inappropriate.

It is not a long poem, but it reads beautifully and is at a level of that elementary aged children can begin to appreciate the messages and themes.

I've... more

By: Walt Whitman, George 'Lord Byron' Gordon, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Robert Service, Bliss Carman, Robert Louis Stevenson, John Masefield, Langston Hughes, Many Others
Publisher: Dover Publications
December 23, 1998

I really enjoyed this collection of poems, which ranged from the familiar to the unfamiliar, both in terms of poems and in poets. Some poems I'd read before, and I was aware of a few lines from others in this thin book, but others were new to me, and I enjoyed being introduced to some ones I hadn't read before. The price on this book makes it a great value!... more

7. The Ways of White Folks: Stories4.50 out of 5.00 stars
By: Langston Hughes
Publisher: Vintage
September 12, 1990

I first read this book in Jr. High and thought I would love to go back down memory lane, its even better as an adult to fully grasp his meanings of the times. It depicts what it was like back in the old hard days for our people, yet it has his great sense of humor on display... more

8. Selected Poems of Langston Hughes5.00 out of 5.00 stars
By: Langston Hughes
Publisher: Vintage
September 12, 1990

It seems to me that Hughes' poetry is of greater importance sociologically and historically than aesthetically. His very brief poems in the language of everyday life cover a very wide range of subjects. One feels he is trying to speak for his people, for the black- American experience. And he is speaking of this with sympathy and strong positive identification. He however does this in what is often... more

9. Not Without Laughter (Thrift Edition)4.50 out of 5.00 stars
By: Langston Hughes
Publisher: Dover Publications
April 04, 2008

The Lesbian and Gay book discussion group at the NYC LGBT Center read this book in Feb 2010.

I enjoyed the book and thought that everyone else would, too. It's a great coming of age story, but I was amazed at how much we found to discuss: the characters (although there was some complaint that they are a bit flat and unchanging - other than the narrator), the position of Blacks in 1920... more

By: Langston Hughes
Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers
November 13, 2007

The book "The dream Keeper" by Langston Hughes is a complete tresure. The first time i saw it was in high school,the poem i had to read was "As I grew older". It really inspired me to fight and never loose faith in what I belive in. African american poetry, in general, are great poems to have and keep for eternity. they teach us to respect and accept everyone for who they are, without looking at the... more
