These poems, for the most part, interpret the more primitive types of American Negro, the bell-boys, the cabaret girls, the migratory workers, the singers of Blues and Spirituals, and the makers of folk-songs. As in The Weary Blues, Mr. Hughes expresses the joy and pathos, the beauty and ugliness, of their lives.
