Langston Hughes was a poet, he won praise for is beauty of his poems and also for his moving expression of racial pride. He tried making his poems sound like jazz music, like he said “ I tried making to write poems like the songs that sang on seventh street, these songs had the pulse beat of the people who keep on going”. He was considered one of the greatest African American poet. He was proud of being an African American poet and showed that through his poems. Like the theme “ Head of Gold” Shoulders of Bronze, Arms if Steel, Feet of Clay. Thats because Jazz age was there for only a short period of time but Langston Hughes was one of the few that made Jazz so significant.
