Book Synopsis
This volume collects the poems of the last period of Hughes's life. Hughes seeked to fuse the modernist dissonances of bebop jazz with his perception of Harlem life as both a triumph of hope and a potential crisis. These poems demonstrate his alertness to the significance of black music.
