Poetry X News Archive

To the delight of the hundreds who have emailed us requesting this poet, we have added a few poems by Harlem poet Langston Hughes to the archives.

Now, before you all start complaining that your favourite Hughes poem is not included, be aware that most of Langston Hughes's poems are still under copyright in the U.S. (where Poetry X is based) and throughout the world, and the rights holder has thus far either ignored or not received our reprint requests.
