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."
