Women's History Month Langston Hughes Writer, editor, lecturer Langston Hughes achieved fame as a poet during the burgeoning of the arts known as the Harlem Renaissance, but those who label him "a Harlem Renaissance poet" have restricted his fame to only one genre and decade. In addition to his work as a poet, Hughes was a novelist, columnist, playwright, and essayist, and though he is most closely associated with Harlem, his world travels influenced his writing in a profound way. Langston Hughes followed the example of Paul Laurence Dunbar, one of his early poetic influences, to become the second African American to earn a living as a writer. His long and distinguished career produced volumes of diverse genres and inspired the work of countless other African American writers. Although his youth was marked with transition, Hughes extracted meaning from the places and people whence he came. The search for employment led his mother and step-father, Homer Clark, to move several times. Hughes moved often between the households of his grandmother, his mother, and other surrogate parents. One of his essays claims that he has slept in "Ten Thousand Beds." Growing up in the Midwest (Lawrence, Kansas; Topeka, Kansas; Lincoln, Illinois; Cleveland, Ohio), young Hughes learned the blues and spirituals. He would subsequently weave these musical elements into his own poetry and fiction.

FRtR Outlines American Literature Modernism and Experimentation ... Authors Langston Hughes (1902-1967) An Outline of American Literature: by Kathryn VanSpanckeren Modernism and Experimentation: Authors: Langston Hughes (1902-1967) Index One of many talented poets of the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s in the company of James Weldon Johnson, Claude McKay, Countee Cullen, and others was Langston Hughes. He embraced African- American jazz rhythms and was one of the first black writers to attempt to make a profitable career out of his writing. Hughes incorporated blues, spirituals, colloquial speech, and folkways in his poetry. An influential cultural organizer, Hughes published numerous black anthologies and began black theater groups in Los Angeles and Chicago, as well as New York City. He also wrote effective journalism, creating the character Jesse B. Semple ("simple") to express social commentary. One of his most beloved poems, "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" (1921, 1925), embraces his African and universal heritage in a grand epic catalogue. The poem suggests that, like the great rivers of the world, African culture will endure and deepen: I've known rivers: I've known rivers ancient as the world and older than the flow of human blood in human veins.

50. Not So Simple: The "Simple" Stories By Langston Hughes A review of Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper's book about langston hughes' Simple stories. http://www.system.missouri.edu/upress/fall1996/harper.htm

Not So Simple The "Simple" Stories by Langston Hughes Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper "The fictional works of Langston Hughes have not yet received the scholarly attention they deserve. Harper's book will help to rectify this neglect. Harper traces the history of Hughes's short stories about Jesse B. Semple ("Simple"), published from 1943 to 1965, putting them into the context of their times and explaining the reasons for their long-standing appeal." Choice "In Not So Simple, Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper examines the character as he emerged in Hughes's columns, from the beginning to Semple's farewell in The New York Post in December 1965, by which time Semple was being decried by many as an anachronism that failed to reflect the growing complexity of black life in a turbulent time. . . . Ms. Harper . . . uses Hughes's own writings and other research material to place Jesse B. Semple against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America." New York Times Book Review "Harper . . . has written the definitive account of the birth and development of a wise commoner." Library Journal About the Author Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper is Associate Professor of English at Spelman College in Atlanta and President of the Langston Hughes Society. She is the editor of

Langston Hughes Langston Hughes is regarded as one of the most significant American authors of the twentieth century. Foremost a poet, he was the first African-American to earn a living solely from his writings after he became established. Over a forty-year career beginning in the 1920s until his death in 1967, Hughes produced poetry, plays, novels, and a variety of nonfiction. He is perhaps best known for his creation of the fictional character, Jesse B. Semple, which first appeared in a Chicago Defender Although Hughes traveled extensively and later called New York City home, this biographical sketch focuses on his stay in Washington, D.C. from November to January . Black Washington’s middle class community experienced a literary rebirth during the 1920s. Eventually, some writers took their skills to Harlem, a section of New York City widely considered to be the "Mecca" of black culture in the 1920s. Hughes was born on February 1, 1902 in Joplin, Missouri, but grew up in Lawrence, Kansas. His parents separated shortly after his birth, because his father disliked racism and moved to Mexico. Hughes' grandmother raised him. As a teenager, he joined his mother in Cleveland after she had remarried. From through , Hughes visited his father in Mexico often.
