This compilation of the writings of Langston Hughes is drawn from every category of his prodigious literary achievement. It combines highlights of the novels, stories, plays, poems, songs, and essays that have made him famous with many new writings that have never before been published in book form.
Among the new selections are the complete libretto of his popular musical comedy Simply Heavenly, all of the text of his pageant The Glory of Negro History, a one-act play Soul Gone Home, and many other stories, poems, and children's lyrics. There are generous portions of his autobiographies, The Big Sea and I Wonder as I Wander, and of the incomparable Simple trilogy: Simple Takes a Wife, Simple Speaks His Mind, and Simple Stakes a Claim.
Langston Hughes is an unchallenged spokesman of African Americans. With art and wit, he has defined the place of Black Americans in all of the diverse forms of American literary expression. This comprehensive anthology is crowded from cover to cover with the characteristic scenes and sentiments that have established his commanding position in world literature.
Highlights from the novels, stories, plays, poems, songs and essays, some previously unpublished, of Langston Hughes.

The Langston Hughes Reader: The Selected Writings of Langston Hughes
Because, this:
To fling my arms wide
In some place of the sun,
To whirl and to dance
Till the white day is done.
Then rest at cool evening
Beneath a tall tree
While night comes on gently,
Dark like me-
That is my dream!
To fling my arms wide
In the face of the sun,
Dance! Whirl! Whirl!
Till the quick day is done.
Rest at pale evening...
A tall, slim tree...
Night coming tenderly
Black like me.
