The Weary Blues is Langston Hughes\'s first published collection of poems, immediately celebrated as a tour de force upon its release.
From the title poem The Weary Blues, echoing the sounds of the blues, to Dream Variation, ringing with joyfulness, to the Epilogue that mimics Walt Whitman in its opening line, I, too, sing America, Hughes writes clearly and colorfully, and his words remain prophetic and relevant today..
Over ninety years after its publication, it remains a critically acclaimed literary work and still evokes a fresh, contemporary feeling and offers a powerful reflection of the Black experience.
