Summary

Summary

Winner of an AudioFile Earphones Award

The intellectual and cultural revival of African-American arts and politics in the 1920s and 1930s was centered in Harlem, Manhattan, New York City.

Here are poems from three major contributors to that rebirth: The Weary Blues by Langston Hughes, The Heart of a Woman and Other Poems by Georgia Douglas Johnson, and Copper Sun by Countee Cullen, delivered by three multiaward–winning narrators.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Narrator Ron Butler accentuates the classical tones and themes of Countee Cullen. Robin Miles finds the warmth and intelligence in Georgia Douglas Johnson’s best work. And Kevin Kenerly captures Langston Hughes’s distinct groundbreaking jazz rhythms…As performed by these fine narrators, the poems sound as fresh, fabulous, and necessary as they did 100 years ago. A wonderful introduction to a vital literary world. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
