From the Publisher:
WINNER OF THE 2007 CORETTA SCOTT KING ILLUSTRATOR HONOR AWARD! A fresh design and appealing new cover enliven this award-winning collection in the acclaimed Poetry for Young People series. Showcasing the extraordinary Langston Hughes, it's edited by two leading poetry experts and features gallery-quality art by Benny Andrews that adds rich dimension to the words. Hughes's magnificent, powerful words still resonate today, and the anthologized poems in this splendid volume include his best-loved works: ?The Negro Speaks of Rivers?; ?My People?; ?Words Like Freedom?; ?Harlem?; and ?I, Too?--his sharp, pointed response to Walt Whitman's ?I Hear America Singing.?| | |
