Harlem

I am not a big English or poetry guy but for some reason the Harlem Renaissance has really interested me...   Not only the poetry and writing of the Harlem Renaissance but the music and just the culture of that era...  

Langston Hughes
The man of the Harlem Renaissance.....

My two favorite poems-
The Weary Blues  1925
Theme for English B





"Well, I like to eat, sleep, drink, and be in love. 
I like to work, read, learn and understand life.
I like a pipe for a Christmas present,
or records-" 
Langston Hughes
