My soul has grown deep like the rivers. I bathed in the Auphrates when dawns were young. I built my hut near the Congo and it lulled me to sleep. I looked up on the Nile and raised the pyramids above it. I heard the singing of the Mississippi when Abe Lincoln went down to New Orleans, and I've seen its muddy bosom turn all golden in the sunset. I've known rivers: Ancient, dusky ruvers. My soul has grown deep like the rivers. MOTHER TO SON Well, son, I'll tell you: Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

Langston Hughes Mini-Unit Author : Sharla Beverly Related Topics : Music, Poetry, Civil Rights Movement, Geography, and Choral Reading Grade Level Background James Langston Hughes was born in Missouri on February 1, 1902 to parents who soon separated. Langston's childhood was spent in the care of friends and relatives throughout the midwest and northeast. He moved frequently and felt abandoned. In an attempt to deal with his loneliness, Langston began to write poetry. He was a frequent visitor to the local library. Langston believed in books more than people. While attending high school, Langston was active in many extra curricular activities including the school magazine. Many of his published poems showed the influence of his favorite poets, Carl Sandburg and Walt Whitman. The themes were often of social injustices and what it meant to be black. Realizing he couldn't depend on his parents for financial support, he began to work and save his money for college. He published his first poem in Brownies Book , a new magazine for black children.

UNIVERSITY OF M ISSOURI PRESS Not So Simple The "Simple" Stories by Langston Hughes Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper ISBN 9780-8262-1088-3 280 pages 6 x 9 Bibliography, Index, 1996 $24.95s paper "The fictional works of Langston Hughes have not yet received the scholarly attention they deserve. Harper's book will help to rectify this neglect. Harper traces the history of Hughes's short stories about Jesse B. Semple ("Simple"), published from 1943 to 1965, putting them into the context of their times and explaining the reasons for their long-standing appeal."— Choice "In Not So Simple, Donna Akiba Sullivan Harper examines the character as he emerged in Hughes's columns, from the beginning to Semple's farewell in The New York Post in December 1965, by which time Semple was being decried by many as an anachronism that failed to reflect the growing complexity of black life in a turbulent time. . . . Ms. Harper . . . uses Hughes's own writings and other research material to place Jesse B. Semple against the backdrop of a rapidly changing America."— New York Times Book Review "Harper . . . has written the definitive account of the birth and development of a wise commoner."

Timeline 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.
