Über den Autor
James Mercer Langston Hughes (1902-1967), was one of the major writers of the last century and a central figure of the Harlem Renaissance. Born in Joplin, Missouri, and raised by his grandmother, he spent much of his youth in Kansas and Ohio before eventually settling in Harlem. On the strength of his first book of poetry, The Weary Blues (1926), he was awarded a scholarship to Lincoln University, in Pennsylvania, graduating in 1929. He would go one to publish more than thirty-five books across a range of genres, including such landmark works as the book-length poem Montage of a Dream Deferred (1951).
