The ultimate book for both dabbler and serious scholar...[Hughes] is sumptuous and sharp, playful and sparse, grounded in an earthy music...This book is a glorious revelation. 'The Hughes who comes across in these pages is a true poet of the people. Rooted in the black experience, his poems are driven by the same democratic urge that inspired Walt Whitman, Carl Sandburg, and William Carlos Williams.'
