Extractions: Hughes, Langston (1902-1967) Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts. James Mercer Langston Hughes, born February 1, 1902, in Joplin, Missouri, began life in poverty and frequently moved from city to city as his parents tried unsuccessfully to escape racism and economic hardship. Hughes's father, an attorney, gave up on the United States and, in 1903, left his family to live and work in Mexico. The young Hughes lived alternately with his maternal grandmother in Lawrence, Kansas, and his mother in whatever city she could find work. Sponsor Message. Hughes, as a seventh grader, worked cleaning the lobby and toilets of a hotel near his school. These impoverished conditions made indelible impressions on the young boy. He would never forget his place as a poor black in America. In the early 1920s, Hughes contemplated his place in the world as a poor "Negro" and as a poet. Writing his famous "A Negro Speaks of Rivers," he expressed the silent viewpoint of many black Americans who looked to spiritual growth as they faced racism and economic stagnation.

Or does it explode? This passage from "Harlem," a poem by Langston Hughes, has been described as a "virtual anthem of black America." As a poet, playwright, fiction writer, autobiographer, and anthologist, Hughes captured the moods and rhythms of the black communities he knew and loved - and translated those rhythms to the printed page. Hughes has been called "the literary explicator and interpreter of the social, cultural, spiritual, and emotional experiences of Black America." This grand description is accurate for the role his writings have played in 20th-century American literature. Hughes was born in Joplin, Missouri, in 1902. His father, a lawyer frustrated by American racism, moved to Mexico when Hughes was a year old, and Hughes spent most of his childhood at his maternal grandmother's home in Lawrence, Kansas. His grandmother had been an activist for decades. Her first husband was killed at the slave rebellion at Harpers Ferry. Her second husband, Hughes's grandfather, was the brother of abolitionist John Mercer Langston and a participant in Kansas politics during Reconstruction. In his grandmother's home, Hughes was part of a close-knit black community, and he was always encouraged to read.

Extractions: 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.

Extractions: G. Casey Cassidy Over the past two years, while participating in the Yale-New Haven Teachers Institute, I have written extensive units detailing the lives and creations of the Wright Brothers and Edward Hopper. When I set out to research these folks, I decided to read as much as possible about them from their childhood to their formative years, and then to accompany them through their great achievements. With this pattern in mind, I decided to read Langston Hughes, never realizing the monumental literary portfolio that this gentleman produced. His literary accomplishments are well represented through his poetry, his fiction, and his drama. His short stories were written utilizing a character named Jesse B. Simple, a universal, charming figure within whom we all can see a little bit of ourselves, usually in a humorous and honest capacity. His poetry often conveyed serious messages. Although his story was seldom pleasant, he told it with understanding and with hope. His novels, especially Not Without Laughter

http://www.todayinliterature.com/today.asp

Extractions: Portrait of Anne Bronte by Patrick Branwell Bronte (1835). On this day in 1849 Anne Brontë died of tuberculosis, at age twenty-nine. This was the third death in eight months among the Brontë siblings, Emily 's and Branwell's coming earlier. A total of six Brontë children were born in a six-year period, 1814-1820: the two eldest died of tuberculosis at age eleven and ten, and within six weeks of each other; the three youngest died of the same disease (along with alcohol and opium, in Branwell's case), all three in their late twenties or early thirties; Charlotte would die six years later, age thirty-nine, during the last stages of pregnancy and from an unclear cause. The standard view of Anne is that she had less talent than her siblings, and was cut from a plainer cloth: Charlotte was dominant and ambitious, Emily was odd and reclusive, Branwell was mercurial; Anne was meek, normal, and churchy. Compared to the opposite dramas of Branwell's and Emily's deaths Branwell indulgent, Emily a picture of "ruthless stoicism" Anne's death, as described by Charlotte, was almost a non-event:

Extractions: Who was Langston Hughes? What did he do? Langston Hughes was a black poet who made black people who were sad, cheerful. He had a broken family and was partly raised by his grandmother. Still, he became one of the most famous African-American poets. Langston finished grade school in Lincoln, Illinois. He graduated from Central High School in Cleveland, Ohio in 1920. One day, Langston's father asked Langston to visit him. Langston agreed because he needed help to go to college. On the way to Mexico, Langston wrote a poem called "Negro Speaks Of Rivers". It was published in the Crisis magazine in 1920. His father sent him to study mining engineering at Columbia University in New York. He lived in a nearby city named Harlem. He loved that city because it was filled with black people. He liked it so much that he wrote a poem called "My People" to show how much he loved being black. Langston liked living there, but he didn't like school. Soon he quit school. When he was 21 years old, he joined the crew of S.S. West Hesseltine. He was the only one who brought books. One day, in a sudden attempt to leave his troubled past behind, he threw his books overboard. The only book he kept was Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. When he was in New York again, Langston worked as a busboy in Washington D.C. at a hotel because at that time, Langston's mother was there, and she wanted to be near him, so Langston moved there in 1925. Once, at the hotel, a very famous poet named Vachel Lindsay was staying at the hotel. So, Langston put some of his poems by Lindsay's dinner plate. Later in the night, many people came to hear Vachel Lindsay read his poems. He read Langston's poems too. He said that he had discovered a new poet. Newspapers and magazines throughout the country wrote about Lindsay's reading. Soon everyone knew about the new black poet, Langston Hughes.
