More about the book

Cullen's debut poetry collection features 73 poems that establish him as a pivotal figure in the Harlem Renaissance. The themes of racial injustice, the African heritage of Black individuals, and the interplay of religious doubt and faith resonate throughout his work. His lyrical style and profound insights into the Black experience during a transformative era highlight his significance among poets of the early 20th century. This reprint preserves the original 1925 edition, celebrating Cullen's lasting impact on American literature.
