Review of 'Selected poems of Langston Hughes.' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I wanted to read a sample of Hughes poetry and that's what I did! I didn't finish this one as I thought it might be nice to return to it in the future and be surprised by what I hadn't read yet. This is a long book of poetry, and I find reading a full book of poetry from cover-to-finish to be difficult, so I am giving myself the grace of just putting it down, unfinished.
Hughes writes smart, snappy, thoughtful poems. Definitely worth checking out if you want to read more of his work!
