What is Countee Cullen: Collected Poems : (American Poets Project #32) about?

The American Poets Project series continues with this stunning collection from a major?and sometimes controversial?figure of the Harlem Renaissance ? In his early twenties, Countee Cullen emerged as a central figure in the tumultuous, defiant, intensely creative cultural movement now known as the Harlem Renaissance. Here is the most comprehensive collection of Cullen?s poetry ever assembled. It begins with his astonishing first book,? Color? (1925)?a debut that made him "fa?mous, like Byron, overnight" (as H. L. Mencken put it). Cullen?s intricate, deceptively simple lyrics shocked some early readers with their frank ex?plorations of racial, sexual, and religious themes. They have since become touchstones of the Afri?can American poetic tradition. ? The collection follows the evolution of Cul?len?s prodigious talents through? Copper Sun? (1927),? The Ballad of the Brown Girl? (1927),? The Black Christ & Other Poems? (1929), and? The Medea and Some Poems? (1935)?reprinted for the first time with the illustrations from the original editions. Also in?cluded are playful verses from his children?s book? The Lost Zoo? (1940); haunting late poems he in?tended to add to? On These I Stand?
