Synopsis

First released more than ninety years ago, this collection has been celebrated for its impact and remains widely regarded as a significant literary work. Hughes’s writing is described as clear and colourful, with poems that draw on the sounds of the blues and move between contrasting tones.

From the title poem to “Dream Variation” and an epilogue that opens with “I, too, sing America”, the selection is presented as both prophetic and relevant. Suitable for readers interested in poetry and landmark works of American literature.
