An internationally known African-American author, Hughes (1902-1967)
stated in his autobiography, "The Big Sea," that he wrote his first
poem while attending Central School in Lincoln.
"Fields of Wonder" is a book of lyric poems. "The Weary Blues"
expresses the strange medley of emotions, memories, hopes and fears
of his race in modern America. "One Way Ticket" includes a
collection of poems he made after "Shakespeare in Harlem."
