A Moon for the Misbegotten -- Eugene O'Neil
[American Negro (Hughes, that is) born in Missouri 1902, died 1967. He is notable for being the only Negro poet of his generation to make a living entirely from his writing, which included prose as well as as poetry. One of the leading lights of the so-called Harlem Renaissance, he was often introduced to audiences as "the poet laureate of Harlem." ]
