Reading Langston Hughes
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>And about his vocational drifting
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>I have a thing for the wanderer
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>My own career meanders
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Weaving back and forth
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Across green fertile fields
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>Vibrancy within each step
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>
<
p style=”font-family:’Helvetica Neue’, Arial, sans, sans-serif;”>I’m spending Black History Month exploring black ports and their great works. Langston Hughes came to mind first. I’m also thinking of Maya Angelou and Toni Morrison. Do you have ideas? I’d love to hear about up-and-coming poets.
