The Weary Blues is Langston Hughes`s first published collection of poems, immediately celebrated as a tour de force upon its release. Over ninety years after its publication, it remains a critically acclaimed literary work and still evokes a fresh, contemporary feeling and offers a powerful reflection of the Black experience. From the title poem `The Weary Blues,` echoing the sounds of the blues, to `Dream Variation,` ringing with joyfulness, to the `Epilogue` that mimics Walt Whitman in its opening line, `I, too, sing America,` Hughes writes clearly and colorfully, and his words remain prophetic and relevant today.
