Langston Hughes was one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. He
was born in Joplin, Missouri, and moved to Cleveland at the age of fourteen. Several
years later he spent one year in Mexico before attending Columbia University in New
York. For a few years after that he roamed the world as a seaman, visiting ports around
the world and writing some poetry. He returned to the United States and attended Lincoln
University, where he won the Witter Bynner Prize for undergraduate poetry. After
graduating in 1928, he traveled to Spain and to Russia with the help of a Guggenheim
fellowship.
His novels include Not Without Laughter (1930) and The Big Sea (1940). He wrote an
autobiography in 1956 and also published several collections of poetry. The collections
include The Weary Blues (1926), The Dream Keeper (1932), Shakespeare in Harlem
(1942), Fields of Wonder (1947), One Way Ticket (1947), and Selected Poems (1959). A
man of many talents, Hughes was also a lyricist, librettist, and a journalist. As an older
man in the 1960s he spent much of his time collecting poems from Africa and from
African-Americans to popularize black writers. Hughes is one of the most accomplished
writers in American literary history, and he is seen as one of the artistic leaders of the
Harlem Renaissance, the period when a neighborhood that was predominantly black
produced a flood of great literature, music, and other art forms depicting daily city life
for African-Americans.
